Now, following a week of record donations, those numbers are on target \u2014 and then some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need additional volunteers on Sunday to help,\u201d the foundation\u2019s executive director Ramiro Penaherrera said in a release. \u201cYou are needed to visit gravesites throughout the cemetery and place flowers. This is an excellent way to honor our fallen troops and veterans for Memorial Day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The organization currently has more than 2,500 volunteers signed up to distribute flowers, with total flower numbers expected to easily surpass the previous donation record of 220,000 in 2019. The exact total won\u2019t be known until organizers unpack pallets on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those in the Washington area looking to volunteer can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/flowers-of-remembrance-day-2023-tickets-579673327527\" target=\"_blank\">go to Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday, May 28, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Memorial Day tradition of placing flowers at the graves of fallen troops \u2014 one that started as \u201cDecoration Day\u201d \u2014 began on May 30, 1868, on the heels of the nation\u2019s bloodiest war in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation joined the effort in 2011 and has been placing flowers at the gravesites of fallen service members ever since. The organization started by placing 10,000 roses at graves in the cemetery, and eventually expanded to cemeteries around the country through the help of donors, businesses and volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are so grateful to the American public and the generosity of our floral importers, who are literally donating thousands of flowers by the pallet, to ensure our fallen military heroes are honored this year,\u201d Penaherrera said in the statement. \u201cThis outpouring of support shows the patriotic spirit of so many Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just last week, the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation was not sure if they\u2019d be able to put a flower at little more than 80,000
