US: Dramm & Echter donates 12,000 flowers for Memorial Day

On Sunday, May 29th, in advance of Memorial Day, more than 300 volunteers from across the US placed 130,000 flowers at the headstones of fallen soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery. Encinitas’ Dramm & Echter donated 12,000 gerbera daisy flowers and sent Sales Manager Mike Mooney and his family to help place the flowers.

“This event really hit home and was very emotional.” said Mike Mooney after returning from Washington, D.C. “We at Dramm & Echter have always recognized our responsibility to the community and donate lots of time, money and flowers for many great causes. Nothing compares to seeing Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day, seeing the families left behind and the intense sadness and pride.”

The event, organized by Memorial Day Flowers Foundation, a 501c3, is in its fifth year. More information and how to volunteer for next year’s event can be found at www.memorialdayflowers.org.
