Today we held our annual Wreaths Across America event. We are very grateful for the many people who came out today to help lay wreaths on the graves of the veterans buried here in our memorial park.

We had lots of questions about how to donate wreaths for next year! Please give us a call and we can help you walk through the process.

Thank you to our wonderful community for joining us. We hope to see you all join us for Memorial Day in 2026.

Your commitment to our families, to one another and to the standard of service we uphold is truly inspiring. We are grateful for the teamwork, the long days, the solutions you’ve created and the pride you bring to your roles. None of our success would be possible without your effort and your passion.

Yesterday, November 3, 2025, marks 12 years since we lost John “Bud” Hawk. Miller Woodlawn Memorial Park holds the high honor of caring for him and his family We wanted to take a moment to share a little about this great American Hero.

John “Bud” Hawk (5/30/1924-11/3/2013) was born in San Francisco, California and grew up in the Bainbridge, WA area. He graduated from Bainbridge High School in 1943 and joined the Army two weeks later from Bremerton, Washington.

By August 20, 1944, Hawk was serving in Europe as a sergeant in Company E, 359th Infantry Regiment, 90th Infantry Division. During a German counterattack on that day, near Chambois, France, he was wounded in the right thigh while taking cover behind a tree. A German shell had penetrated the tree trunk. Hawk continued to fight and, in order to direct the shots of friendly tank destroyers, he willingly exposed himself to intense enemy fire. For his actions during the battle, he was awarded the Medal of Honor on July 13, 1945.

In 1945, Hawk returned from the war and then attended the University of Washington, graduating with a bachelor's degree in biology. For more than thirty years he worked as a teacher and principal in the Central Kitsap School District.

On April 5, 2008, Hawk received the Medal of Honor flag in the Capitol rotunda in Olympia, Washington. He was presented the flag by Brigadier General Gordon Toney, commander of the Washington Army National Guard.

Today, service members from the USS Ronald Reagan honored our community by volunteering their time to clean and care for headstones in our memorial park. Their dedication reflects not only their commitment to our country but also their respect for those who came before them. We are deeply grateful for their service and for helping preserve the dignity of this sacred place.
