This is my family. My pack. Generations of service, and more pride than I can put into a Facebook post. ❤️🇺🇸
My grandfather Elmer Morris was an Army veteran long before his name went over the door. My Uncle Ralph Bailey was a proud Marine so many of you knew from our garden center —and to many, he was simply “Uncle Ralph.” We sure do miss them both.
Then the pack—Kristina, Haley, Zane, Kyle and Trin. Coast Guard, Marine Corps, Air Force and Army. Quite a crew, and I couldn’t be prouder.
And Bailey was along for the ride before he was even born—in his mama’s belly as she took her oath. Now that’s him in the plane with Kyle. His father served in the Marine Corps, and his mother is Army. Who knows where his path will lead, but he has quite an example to grow up with. ❤️
We love our people. We’re proud of their service, and we’re proud of our country.
To our veterans and those still serving: thank you. Whether we know your story or not, we’re grateful for you. 🇺🇸
As a small thank-you, veterans and current military members receive 10% off eligible purchases today, November 11, at Elmer’s and Elmer’s Gardens. Some restrictions apply; ask us for details.
Who are you proud of today? Share their name or photo below. We’d love to honor your people, too.
