We are looking for a Volunteer Flower Captain for Great Lakes National Cemetery, Holly, MI. for Memorial Day 2025 and beyond.

If you're interested in supporting our veteran mission at this cemetery, please email the "Colonel!" [email protected]

This is a volunteer position to support our "Flower on Every Grave Program!" each year and help build relationships and sponsorships with local businesses and corporations that will support this initiative annually.

You would be in charge of the event each Memorial Day at the cemetery to distribute roses and assign sections of the cemetery.

I look forward to hearing from anyone ready to step up and help us save veterans lives. Thank you, COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
