Thank you!

Two dedicated members of the Joseph Spencer Chapter NSDAR, Susie Cook & Vice Regent Bobbi Storer, spent this raining day at Greenlawn Cemetery in Portsmouth, Ohio honoring our nation’s heroes by decorating veterans’ graves with American flags. Their thoughtful act of service reflects the chapter’s deep patriotism, respect for those who served, and commitment to preserving the memory of our veterans.

Through this meaningful project, the members helped ensure that the sacrifices made for our freedom are never forgotten. The Joseph Spencer Chapter is proud of their dedication and grateful for their continued service to the community and to America.

Thank you to everyone who came to Greenlawn this morning to help finish flagging our Veterans graves. Believe it or not some came again today after flagging in the pouring rain yesterday. We have the very best volunteers! ♥️ 🇺🇸

You never forget the volunteers who show up in the pouring rain and say, "This is nothing compared to what they have done for us." ♥️ 🇺🇸

THANK YOU! Portsmouth High School Key Club for flagging the graves in Soldier's Circle. The students also left a flower tribute at each grave. Portsmouth High School students "adopted" Soldier's Circle many years ago and always take care of the flagging on Memorial Day. We appreciate them so much.

Your greatness is not what you have. It's what you give.

Rhonda Kay Madison passed away on March 26, 2026.

She was a member of the Scioto County Memorial Day Association. Following in her mother's footsteps in honoring veterans, she participated in the Ladies of the Circle Ceremony in Greenlawn Cemetery each Memorial Day. She also served as the Grave Flagging Chairperson enlisting and organizing volunteers who flagged the graves of over 3,500 veterans buried in Greenlawn Cemetery and throughout Scioto County.

We are grateful for her service of over 20 years. 🇺🇸
