Happy Flag Day from the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine.
Oh say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming?
And the rockets' red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave

Hello Facebook Friends!

I am excitied to announce a new project I am starting at the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine, titled: "Veterans Memorial Park - Stories of Service."

The concept is simple: I am looking for Veterans who would be willing to meet me at the park and allow me to video record them sharing a story from their time in the service.

I already have a couple of Veterans lined up to kick this off:

One wants to tell the story of the bravest man he ever met—a combat medic he served with who ultimately made the ultimate sacrifice.

The other will be sharing the story of his Marine Unit rescuing 7 POWs, including Jessica Lynch.

As I give tours of the Veterans Park, I realize that every single one of our Veterans has a story. Unless you have served, it’s impossible to truly understand what these heroes have been through. The original purpose of our Veterans Park was to educate, and I believe these raw, unedited stories need to be preserved in the words of the people who lived them.

By filming Veterans in front of the monuments that reflect their unique journeys, we can create an enduring archive of courage, dedication, and honor for future generations.

How you can help:
If you are a Veteran, or if you know a Veteran who might be willing to sit down with me and share a piece of their journey, please send me a send me a direct message or comment below so we can set something up.

Please share this post to help me spread the word! Thank you for helping me honor community's heroes.

REMEMBER D-DAY!! When the gun shots stopped ringing out and the smoke began to clear, the water was blood red as far as the eyes can see and 2,501 U.S. Service Members had just made the Ultimate Sacrifice for this country lay on the beach. The tide of the war changed. In honor of those 2,501 Soldiers, the playing of TAPS.
NEVER FORGET the sacrifice of the Greatest Generation!!

Good Night and God Bless our United States Service Members from the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine!!

A few small tributes have been set up today at the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine in honor of the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day. My great friend and Omaha Beach D-Day Veteran Friend Stan Nelson’s bench is decorated along with the images of the 3 last surviving shipmates of the LCI 492. A Gold Star wreath and flags have been placed at the WWII monument which features the photo titled “Into the Jaws of Death, and poppies have been placed in the hand of our Fallen Soldier monument, titled “Tell my mom I Love Her”. June 6, 1994. 82 Years Ago. Operation Overload, code named Operation Neptune, D-DAY. The largest Amphibious Assault in World history. An event that changed the world. The invasion began shortly after midnight with extensive aerial an naval bombardment, as well as an Airborne Assault. The amphibious landings began at 6:30 am, (in the U.S. 11:30 pm, June 5th Central War Time). The U.S. and allied troops began their assault of the 50 mile stretch of the Normandy Coast containing Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach, and Sword Beach. The allies suffered over 10,300 casualties with approximately 2400 on Omaha Beach. Stop up and help us pay tribute to our Fallen D-Day Heroes.

Please meet the Dream Team who helped plant all those flowers at the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine!

We are incredibly blessed by the massive plant donations from Tamblyn’s and Waldoch Farms, but those beautiful plants don’t jump into the ground themselves! It takes hands-on hard work, and I want to give a massive thank you to the four amazing volunteers who made it happen.

Denise Swanson: Led by Denise, who is without question my go-to volunteer at the park. There are truly no words to describe how much I appreciate this lady for how much she does. Her dedication to this park is unmatched!

Rich Ackman: Rich sis a United States Air Force Veteran and started volunteering last year and has already been an incredible asset to the park. He has donated countless hours of hard work to help beautify this sacred space.

Mary Lund: Mary already spends a ton of time maintaining her own gorgeous garden across the street from the park, but she also volunteers her time here too. She is a wonderful neighbor and is always ready to jump in and help whenever called upon.

Sandy Hendricks: last but not least, sandy Hendricks, mother of former NHLer Matt Hendricks, made her gardening debut at the Veterans Park. We are hoping she loved it and wants to make many return visits.

Thanks to these four incredible people, all of our new plants have a home to grow! Please join me in giving Denise, Rich, and Mary a massive thank you in the comments!

To wrap up the businesses I want to thank that helped prepare the Veterans Memorial Park of Blaine for our Memorial Day Program , I want to recognize a man who plays a vital role in protecting the very first monument you see when coming to Veterans Memorial Park: Randy Byrne!

Every single year, Randy steps up to spray our Freedom Rock with a specialized clear coat. This isn't just about making it look sharp; his expert work protects the artwork from the harsh elements so it can stand proud for generations to come.

I wanted to know what inspires him to give back to our veterans year after year, so I sat down with Randy for a quick chat. For some reason the video is not playing on this site. Visit Steve Guider on Facebook to see the video.
