Tyson's cub scout group participated in a special Memorial Day activity at the Punchbowl cemetery. The Punchbowl Cemetery is a national memorial/burial ground for men and women who served in the armed forces. The official name is The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific. Veterans from World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War, as well as their dependents are interred there.
The cub scouts were asked to bring small leis to place on all the graves for Memorial Day. For our lei we gathered blossoms (I believe they are plumeria) from the trees in our church parking lot. We gathered a bunch and had enough to make two leis. I think we did a fair job for our first lei ever. It was a fun project. The best part: they smelled soooo good!
