Legacy MattersCollin Kelley, 9, wanted to plant flowers on the graves of fallen heroes on Memorial Day. He raised money, got permission from the cemetery, but the board of trustees ordered him to stop.
Apparently, only families who buy rights to burial plots at the Edgell Grove Cemetery in Framingham, MA, can plant flowers.
Some of the graves are over 300 years old and their families will not be planting flowers. Neither will Collin Kelley. So the graves will be bare come Monday.
UPDATE: The trustees have relented.
Collin can plant flowers on the graves of veterans so long as he removes them Monday night.
