POPPY CRAFT FOR MEMORIAL DAY: You just need an egg carton and some paints. The video suggests gluing the flower to a brooch pin, but you could use a safety pin intead. Or, just leave the poppy as a flower to decorate the table.
To commemorate Memorial Day from home and the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, Ancestry® is proud to present its “Parade of Heroes,” a virtual event hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford with a musical performance by Tori Kelly. We invite you to tune in as we stream the parade on our Facebook Page via Watch Party on Monday, May 25 at 11 AM ET (8 AM PT).
