For One For All

Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.

If you can't get to any of the National Cemeteries, still a little skittish on attending the big family gatherings, or your town isn't holding a parade, get out to Green Beans Coffee Omaha and observe their Fallen Comrade Table and Battle Cross. Green Beans also donates to several veteran and first responder organizations, so patronizing their business is like donating to help organizations that help those most in need.

On Aug 8th, 2020, we will come together again as a community and honor our First Responders, Veterans, and their Families past, present, and future. Please join us and help spread the word.
