This week’s Freedom Friday is all about the meaning behind the 13 folds of the American flag. 🇺🇸

During a military funeral or ceremonial flag presentation, each fold carries a traditional symbolic meaning — representing life, honor, sacrifice, faith, family, service, and our nation’s enduring trust in God and freedom.

For many families, the folding of the flag is one of the most emotional and memorable moments of a veteran’s final tribute. It is more than tradition.... it is an expression of respect, gratitude, and remembrance for a life of service.

Stand Tall. Honor All.

HONORING AN EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERSHIP | THANK YOU, DAR! 🇺🇸

As we prepare to celebrate the Military Women’s Memorial’s 29th anniversary and honor this year’s remarkable Patriot Leadership Award recipients, we are especially proud and deeply grateful to recognize the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) as the Presenting Sponsor of our 2026 Patriot Leadership Award Gala!

Our relationship with NSDAR is one rooted in a shared commitment to honoring service, preserving history, and ensuring that the extraordinary contributions of America's military women and the women who served with US Armed Forces, are never forgotten.

Long before the Military Women’s Memorial opened its doors in 1997, the Daughters of the American Revolution believed in our mission and helped make our vision a reality. Nearly three decades later, their unwavering friendship, generosity, and dedication continue to make an extraordinary difference.

Through the years, NSDAR has contributed more than $1 million to the Military Women’s Memorial, helping us honor generations of servicewomen, preserve their stories, educate future generations, and ensure that their courage, sacrifices, and contributions remain a visible and enduring part of our Nation’s history.

This partnership represents generations of Daughters standing alongside the women who have served our Nation, championing their stories, celebrating their accomplishments, and helping safeguard their legacies for generations yet to come.

On October 17, as we gather for our Patriot Leadership Award Gala, we will celebrate not only extraordinary women whose courage, leadership, service, and contributions have shaped our Nation, but also the incredible partners who make our mission possible.

To the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, your belief in our mission has helped shape the Memorial's past, sustain its present, and build its future. We are profoundly grateful for your enduring friendship, remarkable generosity, and steadfast commitment to America's military women.

From all of us at the Military Women’s Memorial, THANK YOU, NSDAR, for nearly three decades of believing in us, standing with us, and helping us ensure that HER STORY is never forgotten. ❤️🇺🇸

A military funeral procession in Latham will carry Revolutionary War-era remains for burial at the Saratoga National Cemetery. Dufresne & Cavanaugh Funeral Home in Latham is assisting the United States Army with the burial of human remains tied to the Battle of Valcour Island. The battle was fought on Lake Champlain in October 1776 and the remains are associated with the American gunboat Philadelphia under Benedict Arnold. 🇺🇸

Teaching Tuesday 🇺🇸

Today we’re highlighting the Three-Volley Salute — one of the most solemn and meaningful traditions in a military funeral.
The tradition dates back to old battlefield customs, when fighting would pause so the dead and wounded could be recovered. Three r***e volleys signaled that the fallen had been cared for and the battle could resume.

Today, the Three-Volley Salute serves as a final tribute to a veteran’s service, sacrifice, and life. It is a powerful act of respect for the fallen and a meaningful moment for the families left behind.
It is also often confused with a 21-gun salute, but the two are not the same.

The Three-Volley Salute is the ceremony most commonly performed by a funeral Honor Guard for veterans.
At Operation Honor Guard, we believe these traditions matter — because every veteran deserves to be honored with dignity.

Stand Tall. Honor All.

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Navy! 🇺🇸⚓

Today, Blue Star Mothers of America proudly celebrates 251 years of the United States Navy!

On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the creation of a naval force, beginning a legacy of service that continues today.

For more than two and a half centuries, generations of Sailors have answered the call to serve, protecting our nation and defending freedom across the seas. Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice are woven into the history of our country.

To every Sailor serving today, every Navy veteran who served before them, and the families who proudly stand behind them, we thank you. 💙

And to our Blue Star Mothers with sons and daughters serving in the United States Navy, today we celebrate your Sailors with you! ⚓❤️🤍💙

Happy 251st Birthday, U.S. Navy!
May you continue to serve with Honor, Courage and Commitment.

⚓ Forged by the Sea. 🇺🇸
