Here in Hawaii, there is a tradition of placing lei on all the graves at Punchbowl National Cemetary. A call is put out for lei to be made and dropped off. They really don't care about the type of flowers, only that they're real, a certain length and tied. This year I made a few strands from our crown flower tree.Boy Scouts from around the island then spend all day placing the lei on all the graves. This is one way to show our love for all those who have honored our country by their service and protecting all of our freedoms.
Happy Memorial Day
