This Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸

You can help remember their legacy in a meaningful way by dedicating a rose in memory of a hero on the 2027 Rotary Rose Parade Float.

Each rose represents gratitude, remembrance, and the enduring spirit of those who served our nation with courage and honor.

Whether you dedicate a rose to a family member, friend, or all who gave their lives in service, your tribute will bloom before millions on New Year’s Day.

Because freedom blooms through sacrifice.
