Today loved ones of United States veterans were given the chance to Honor their vets this Memorial Day with a rose.
Willow Gift and Home employees participated in the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation Rose Handout at Baesler’s Market.
The business purchased 250 long-stem roses and passed them out to community members, wishing them to place the rose on their loved ones grave.
The foundation in turn provides 150 roses in the business’ name to soldiers and families at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day.
“We’re supporting our country. And thanking all the veterans and people who are currently serving,” said Willow Gift and Home employee Quataunya Morgan. “And I think we have more in Terre Haute than we think, and we need to make sure we honor all of them.”
On Monday employees will make sure any remaining roses are placed on graves of veterans in the area.
