Attention Volunteers,

We will be posting flags today, rain or shine. Please plan appropriately and bring rain gear if needed. We will begin flag placement promptly at 9:00 AM. Following the placement of the flags, please plan to stay and join us for a brief wreath laying ceremony at Medal of Honor recipient SSgt Robert Hartsock’s grave. This ceremony will be conducted at approximately 10:45 AM by the National Veterans Awareness Riders who will be stopping by on their journey from California to Washington, DC.

Flag retrieval is planned for Tuesday, 27 MAY at 9:00 AM. Anyone wishing to assist with removal and storage of the flags is appreciated.

Thank you all for your support!

The Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery Committee is in need of members and volunteers!

The Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery is supported in numerous ways by the efforts of local citizens who serve on the Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery Committee.

The committee assists the cemetery by coordinating various volunteer activities and special events, such as the placement of flags on Memorial Day and conducting programs honoring our veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Membership on the committee is limited to veterans or immediate family members (mother, father, husband, wife, son, or daughter) of veterans interred or eligible for interment at the Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery. However, the Committee would welcome the assistance of anyone who wishes to use their time and talents in support of the Committee’s activities.
