Woman who has honored veteran gravesites for over 30 years is surprised for Feel Good Friday
Published at | Updated at
EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Ashley and Ashley Outlet of Idaho Falls to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
Last year we introduced you to a special woman named Trish who works hard to make sure veterans are honored on Memorial Day. The email we received about Trish said:
Trish has put out American flags at cemeteries for all of the veteran’s graves for YEARS. She used to do it with her kid’s help, now she uses her grandkids. I love seeing all the veteran graves marked by flags. I work at the Sutton Cemetery in Archer and watched her picking up her flags and thought to myself that she deserves to be recognized for her service. I don’t know how many years she has done it, but I would imagine it’s 30+. And there must be hundreds of veteran graves at each cemetery. Also, Trish plays bagpipes and I believe she plays them for some of the Memorial Day events in the area.
We decided to share our surprise with Trish again this week to thank her for all she’s done over the years. Watch the video in the player above!
