Honoring Military Men and Women with Our Heroes’ Tree

Come to the Youth Services Department to visit Our Heroes’ Tree. Founded by Marlene Lee and Stephanie Pickup, Our Heroes’ Tree is a national initiative to recognize and honor the sacrifices made by the families of current service members, veterans, and deceased service members.


If you have a special service member you would like to recognize, you can create a handmade ornament to display on our Heroes’ Tree at the Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library.   Ornaments can be created with materials from your home, or you can stop by the Youth Services desk and materials will be provided for you.  Ornaments can include pictures, information about years of service, or stories you would like to share about your hero.  Ornaments can reflect your family, and remember you can be as creative as you want!
