Happy Memorial Day - 2011

We cherish too, the Poppy red

That grows on fields where valor led,

It seems to signal to the skies

That blood of heroes never dies.

inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields,"

Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Here's a link to the history of Memorial Day in the USA. Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have given service to our Country and have paid the highest price for that service.

We want to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day 2011.

We want to wish I.L. 'Tommy' Tucker a Happy Birthday on May 9, 2011

Our founder I.L. 'Irv' Tucker founded Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. in 1945. He would have been 110 years old this year. Since 1945, one person has been associated with our company from the beginning and that would be Irv's son, Tommy, pictured to the left.

Today, Monday, May 9Th is Tommy's birthday. His son, Robin, celebrated his birthday on the Sunday, the 8Th. Another son, not involved with Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. anymore was born on the 5Th. May birthdays have been a family tradition for some.

On behalf of everyone at Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc., we want to wish Tommy a "Happy Birthday" as he is enjoying time with yet another family member, his daughter, Marcia. Marcia worked for Tucker back in college and moved to Arizona to enjoy a career in special education and working with special needs populations. She is married and has a daughter.
