In Memoriam

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

                                                                      —John McCrae

‘Flip-Flops for Francis Day’ at Ray Marsh Elementary School a huge success!

Some of the great students at
Ray Marsh Elementary who
made 'Flip-Flops for Francis Day'
a success

A big shout-out to Ray Marsh Elementary School in Shawnee, Kansas!

The school's hallways echoed with students, teachers, and staff members flip-flopping their way to and from classes in support of the Kansas City VA.

The Ray March Student Council sponsored "Flip-Flops for Francis Day" on Friday, May 4, which raised $192 in Francis’s memory to help veterans in the Kansas City area who have fallen on hard times.

Thank you, Ray Marsh Elementary, for all you do for our veterans and to continue Francis’s legacy!

Happy Birthday, Francis!

We love you!
