Wednesday Hero

This Weeks Hero Was Suggested By Beth


Holly Holeman


Her name is Holly Holeman. Her job is working at a flower shop. And her mission to make sure soldiers are never forgotten. Which is why she's out at Arlington National Cemetery every week putting flowers around the headstones. She usually does this alone, but on a bitter cold day in February of 2007 she was met with family members of fallen soldiers buried in Section 60 of the cemetery who helped her to place the roses.

To read the rest of Holly's story, you can go here.

These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Wonderful post. This really made my heart sing. After having our best friend pass away in Fallujah and buried at Arlington... it makes family and friends feel better to know there are angels out there who leave flowers. Bless her for all that she does. Bless her.

p.s. - Also, we're trying to get 500 women to pledge to get examined in honor of Breast Cancer (mammogram, self or annual physical) within the next year. Spread the word... this is something that is very very near and dear to our hearts.
