Join numerous Volunteer Organizations for a meaningful morning of service and remembrance as we honor the heroes who gave their lives for our nation.
On Sunday May 24, 2026, from 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, volunteers will gather at Pikes Peak National Cemetery to place American flags at the graves of our nation’s fallen service members in observance of Memorial Day.
Together, we will help ensure that every hero is remembered. By carefully placing flags throughout the cemetery, volunteers will take part in a powerful tradition that shows gratitude and respect for the sacrifices made by our military members and their families.
This is a special opportunity to reflect, connect with your community, and live out the spirit of service that Memorial Day represents.
