One Florida fan traveled to the Swamp to send a heartfelt Memorial Day message: America’s fallen and missing soldiers are not forgotten.
The fan left a single rose at the Chair of Honor inside Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium over Memorial Day weekend.
The athletic department posted a photo on Twitter:
The flower was placed next to the Chair of Honor not far from the corner of the stadium, overlooking the field. The landmark honors the nation’s servicemen and women who are prisoners of war or missing in action.
The identity of the individual who placed the rose there is unknown.
