Many thanks to MK3 Henry Bufano and SN Drake Allen from USCG Station Hatteras for helping out at the British Cemetery yesterday! They weeded, weed-whacked, raked, cleaned up, planted annuals, and mulched the garden bed! We really appreciate the help each year and the crew enjoy the chance to spend a day on Ocracoke.

Hoping for some rain on Thursday (but NOT Friday) to give these flowers a good soak. We’ll add more flowers Friday morning so they will be fresh and bountiful!

The annual ceremony is Friday at 11AM.
