What is a Flag Placement Volunteer?

Flag Placement Volunteers are responsible for correctly placing all of the flags during our placement event for Memorial Day.

We provide the placement video before registration, during registration, and in all communications leading up to the day.

Per the cemetery’s recommendation, we’ve updated the way Flag Placement is conducted, please review this video prior to your shift; https://youtu.be/FUkylBFwkLk

Things to consider before volunteering:

  • There will be one designated group lead (the one who registers) who will be receiving all communications from us and is responsible for sharing among their group.
  • Groups are required to have a minimum of 10 volunteers.
  • Each registered volunteer is responsible for 60-90 flags, which will weigh up to 15 pounds. Please make sure you are physically able to lift upwards of 15lbs for an extended period!
  • Children 12 and under cannot be counted towards the total number of people you register for. This is because we only account for those who are able to independently commit to the 60-90 flags. For example, if you’re registering for yourself, husband, daughter (14) and son (10) you would only register for 3 people.
  • Flag Placement will happen rain or shine, dress for the weather!
  • We highly recommend bringing a screwdriver to help create an initial pilot hole at each headstone, this helps especially when the ground is dry.
  • We encourage you to wear gloves. Many volunteers in the past have gotten blisters from placing so many flags!
