BUSHNELL, Fla. — Across the country, Americans are honoring the servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives on this Memorial Day.

At the Florida National Cemetery, hundreds gathered to honor those who gave the last full measure of devotion.

Capturing memories and moments is what Danielle Hendrix is tasked with doing this Memorial Day.

As she snapped pictures, it was clear that this year seems a bit more special.

People are able to come together once again, after being apart because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

It’s easy to see this job means a lot to her and to her husband Morgan Hendrix, who is a veteran

“As soon as I got out of the Army, I was ready for a change, and a life. So I settled here,” said Morgan Hendrix.

Morgan Hendrix has worked at the cemetery for six years, making sure the families of the fallen are at ease and comfortable — especially on days like Memorial Day — are important.

Amongst the visitors, this pair pays a visit to one of their own — to Danielle Hendrix’s grandfather, Army Specialist Dennis Gross.

“I think he would be proud to know what we do here,” she said. “Definitely Memorial Day. He was very proud of his service to his country.”

Danielle and Morgan Hendrix are teaching the next generation the importance of those who fought for their country.

“It’s not just one day we should memorialize everybody — it should be every single day, and so I think that is what we do,” said Danielle Hendrix. “That is our mission.”
