Never Forget Garden to be planted by DAR
Staff Report
CHESTER A “Never Forget Garden” is being developed by the Daughters of the Return Jonathan Meigs Chapter NSDAR.
Registrar/Ohio Society Librarian Opal Grueser recently presented a brief program about the 100th Anniversary of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to local DAR members. Grueser encouraged everyone to watch the program by the Society of the Honor Guard Tomb of the Unknown Soldier by Gavin McIlvenna of SHGTUS.
She reviewed how white roses were used to identify the casket selected to represent “The Unknown Soldier”.
In the program she explained that, today, we use all kinds of flowers in many situations. For example, we use flowers to celebrate happy times such as Mother’s Day, birthdays, weddings, and commemorate sad times such as flowers for the ill, death, and Memorial Day.
