As we approach Memorial Day, here are a few reminders: 1) US Flag (fly at Half Staff from Sunrise to Noon, then raise to Full Staff until Sunset). 2) Observe a National Moment of Remembrance (Silence) at 3 PM local time.

Today I had the honor to work alongside 100's of other volunteers to place flags on approximately 18,000 graves at the VA National Cemetery. The flags will be up for a week, please go by and pay your respect and see the cost of freedom. Let us remember that Memorial Day is not a three day weekend for cookouts, and taking the boats out on the lake, but a time to remember the sacrifices of the men and women that gave it all.

Open invitation to attend and participate if willing and able.

***Clarifying Comment***

At 10am the Boy Scouts will be providing a demonstration of flag placement and immediately following, kick off a brief ceremony. At the conclusion of their ceremony, the public will begin placing flags. Flag placement will take place rain or shine.

Mountain Home National Cemetery would like to invite the community to join us in placing flags on the gravesites of our nation’s heroes in preparation for Memorial Day.

This special tradition serves as a meaningful reminder of the courage and sacrifice of the men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. As we place each flag, we honor their memory and ensure their sacrifice is never forgotten.🇺🇸
