Hi Carolyn, You can buy a tree planted in his name in a national forest each year.
So I just did a google to find how to memorialize a tree for a departed family member. You can buy a tree each year and it comes with a charm on a waxed cord, and a beautiful card memorializing his tree. I believe that would be a wonderful tribute, and although your son lost his life, you can bring new life in his name to one of the national forests that need trees. http://www.thetreesremember.com/memorialtrees.html You could also do a memorial tree or plant. I don't recall where you live, but you may have a local place where you can make a donation each year to reforest where needed. The other thing that you can do.and because I don't know where you live.is to plant a new tree or plant in your yard each year on the anniversary of his death. If you own your home, this would be a living memorial that you could see every day. If not, then perhaps buying a tree each year for the forest also gives you the memorialized card with the number of trees and where they are planted and the pendant on the cord.

OT Hi, My son, David will be gone one year on February 22. I'd like to memorialize him in a "permanent" way and am asking you what you think I can do. Each monthly anniversary, I release helium-filled balloons (one with a "love note" stuck inside it), knowing that it will get through the "atmosphere" (!??) and almost all the way to heaven; then he can reach down and grab it!! In my mind, it happens... So, to mark his one year, can you give me suggestions as to how I should commemorate it? Thanks so much. Carolyn
