The Super Bowl, arguably one of the biggest live television events of the year, should draw an estimated 111 million viewers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Seizing on an occasion that draws people together (minus, perhaps, a few thousand Saints fans this year), the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation will share photos and names of fallen military heroes on social media.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is an interesting phenomenon during the Super Bowl,\u201d said Ami Neiberger-Miller, public relations director of MDFF. \u201cLots of people watching the game are on Facebook and Twitter and will retweet or share things of value or that they feel help others.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a rapt audience online, Sunday evening is a good time to shine the light on soldiers who gave the ultimate sacrifice \u2013 and it reminds Americans that their freedoms come at a great price.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are families watching the game, like mine, who are without a loved one, because he or she died serving this country,\u201d Miller said. \u201cIt\u2019s a small thing to share a photo and a name, but it means a lot to the families of fallen troops. It means their loved one is not forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

You can submit a photo with a soldier\u2019s name and information on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #MemDayFlowersHonors. Memorial Day Flowers will share the photos on the Foundation\u2019s Twitter feed and Facebook page. (You can also email photos and names to Miller, ami@steppingstoneLLC.com<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Ramiro Pe\u00f1aherrera, owner of LatinFlor, in Quito, Ecuador, founded the Memorial Day Flowers Foundation in 2011. In its first year, the group coordinated the donation of 10,000 Ecuadorian roses, which about a dozen volunteers distributed to visitors at Arlington National Cemetery, outside of Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s grown tremendously,\u201d said Pe\u00f1aherrera, who has five family members buried at Arlington. \u201cWe have industry members in all segments and in multiple countries rallying behind this effort.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, more than 3,000 volunteers helped the Foundation place 396,500 flowers at 40 cemeteries to honor fallen military heroes and veterans at cemeteries on Memorial Day.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis represented an increase of more than 150,000 flowers from the year prior, and nearly a 40-time increase from the first project in 2011,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n

The group is already organizing for Memorial Day 2019 and expects it to be the biggest event yet. To sign up as a volunteer or donor, visit memorialdayflowers.org<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

There, you\u2019ll find step-by-step instructions on creating and publicizing an event at your local cemetery and registering for a Memorial Day Flowers kit.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can also contact your wholesaler,\u201d Pe\u00f1aherrera said, adding that the Foundation has a substantial roster of sponsors around the U.S., as well as in Colombia and Ecuador.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, the main mission is to honor our fallen soldiers who gave everything for their country,\u201d he said. \u201cBut this is also a great opportunity for the floral industry. It promotes flowers as a way to observe the holiday \u2014 which, incidentally, was how it began, back when it was known as Decoration Day<\/a>. It also helps florists connect with people in their communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are more than a million gravestones, including tens of thousands at military cemeteries like Arlington National, which go unrecognized on Memorial Day without floral donations and volunteers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really does take a team effort by so many people to make this project possible,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
