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.

Saturday volunteers prepare the flowers in the Service Area, and may place flowers at nearby sections.

On Sunday, May 26, you are invited to participate in the Flowers of Remembrance Day event, the only time of the year where visitors can walk across the Memorial Plaza and place a flower before the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
