Thank you for your service!

Each year, thousands of sailors and Marines are sent on assignment alone to Afghanistan, Iraq, horn of Africa, Guantanamo and other areas to fight the Global War on Terrorism.  Since 9/11, over 90,000 sailors have left their assigned units or commands to deploy individually or in small groups.  They are usually assigned to Army units to fill specialized roles that the Army has either trouble filling or has limited expertise.  Little or no ceremony marks their deployment or return.  Often, with very little notice, IA’s (Individual Augmentee) are asked to head to unknown territories, face unknown enemies and spend over a year away from their homes and families.  On the 6^th, Field of Flowers will be donating wrapped roses to go out to the spouses of the IA’s that are being honored and we would like to say to all of the honorees, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!
