On Tuesday, Sept. 1, the Charles County Commissioners proclaimed September as “Forget-Me-Not” month. The proclamation commemorates those fallen in war, while promising the hope of renewal. Charles County is the home of nearly 16,000 veterans, many of whom became disabled as the result of bravely fighting for our country.
During September, the Charles County Disabled American Veterans will conduct the annual sale of simulated Forget-Me-Not flowers to honor those who served in our wars for the maintenance of freedom. The blue flower received after giving a donation is a symbol of love, hope, and remembrance for those who have suffered or have been lost in war.
