MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

Each Memorial Day at Arlington National Cemetery we honor those who risked or sacrificed their lives while protecting and fighting for our country.

Active Volunteers prepare the flowers in the Service Area on Saturday, distribute the flowers throughout the cemetery on Sunday, and guide placement visitors to designated sections.
Cemetery visitors place flowers in front of each headstone while quietly reading the inscription and then thanking the interred for their service.

Please consider sponsoring flowers or making a donation so that visitors have enough flowers to honor each gravesite this Memorial Day.

The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation

The Memorial Day Flowers Foundation works alongside Victory for Veterans to honor and remember those who served in the United States Armed Forces. Victory for Veterans organizes events at 10 cemeteries across the country called “A Flower on Every Grave”. From every dollar they receive for this program, fifty cents go toward preventing veteran suicide.
