Ep. 67 - Memorial Day Flowers with Ramiro Penaherrera & Bernardo Beate
In this episode, we sit down with the brains behind the Memorial Day Flower Foundation. An amazing organization where volunteers hand out thousands of donated flowers for placement at veteran gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery and cemeteries across the country. The volunteers place a flower in front of each headstone while quietly reading the inscription and then thanking the person for their service.
Ramiro Penaherrera, Executive Director and Bernardo Beate, Director of Operations
explain the history behind the project, the struggles it faces now, and the hopes for the near future. Celine, Mimi, Fern & Ryan also discuss about their experiences in Arlington and with MDF.
