Blue Star Veteran Memorial Markers cared for each year by the Camden Garden Club

The Camden Garden Club would like to thank veterans each and every day for their service.

The Club is grateful for the continued support of the American Legion, who graciously hosts us at War Memorial Post No. 30 (the American Legion Hall in Camden). We are honored to be able to partner together to support our community.

For the past six years, volunteer members of the Camden Garden Club have cared for nearby Blue Star Memorials for Memorial Day and Veterans Day. This year was no different. The Camden Garden Club cleaned up the landscape and decorated two sites for the Veterans Day holiday: one in Thomaston, and the other in Rockport, both along Route 1.

National Garden Clubs Inc. started the Blue Star Memorial Project of National Garden Clubs to pay tribute to the U.S. armed forces in 1945. The system covers thousands of miles across the United States. In 2020, there were 30 markers in Maine.
