As such, the memorial will need on-going maintenance support such a flag replacements every 6 months (or sometimes less), flower box maintenance, paver sealing and general repair, special event needs such as flower sprays and stands for Memorial Day, Veterans' Day, and Independence Day events (amongst other special patriotic days).  Your donation, in any amount, is greatly appreciated and needed.
