What’s After Gettysburg?
July 13th, 2009

If you all haven’t heard thru Radio or Television , Flowers for Heroes will be back out east in September. We will be doing similar installation in Antietam in mid September.
I expect that the installation will be totally different. The town is different, the amount of visitors is different and the cemetery is different. But what a great place. Flowers for Heroes will visit Antietam to again recognize the beginning of the creation of our country and the beginning of our existence. Antietam – the bloodiest battle known to America.
Additional events this year could range from doing Lincoln in Illinois this year to visiting Normandy. We have been approved at Normandy however, we will need additional funding to complete.
We plan on accommodating 3-4 installation per year. If the funding is available we will press on and do more. One piece of our mission is to visit all 130 veteran cemetery’s and the 100 overseas before revisiting business plan. We will leave no one behind. All of our Heroes will be decorated with flowers before I am done.
Hope to see you there.
