🇺🇸 HELP KEEP OUR VETERANS' FLAGS FLYING! 🇺🇸

Monticello Avenue of Flags Needs Your Support!

For generations, American flags have proudly flown in our cemeteries and throughout Monticello to honor our veterans.

Unfortunately, flag prices continue to rise, quality has declined, and donations are no longer keeping up with replacement costs.

The Monticello Avenue of Flags, established in 2025, is committed to preserving this tradition for generations to come.

Through our $150 Veteran Flag Package and Adopt a Veteran Program, we help ensure veterans have flags flying in their honor. But these programs alone cannot cover the growing expenses.

🇺🇸 WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY'S HELP!

We are asking individuals, families, businesses, and organizations to consider making a monetary donation.

No donation is too small! Whether it's $10, $25, $50, $100, or more, every dollar helps keep our veterans' flags flying.

Donations can also be made in honor or memory of a veteran.

❤️ TO DONATE: Contact us through our Monticello Avenue of Flags page or reach out to any committee member.

Our goal is simple: Build a fund that will keep these flags flying for generations, ensuring no veteran is forgotten.

🇺🇸 THEY SERVED FOR US. NOW IT'S OUR TURN TO HONOR THEM.

OUR VETERANS DESERVE THAT! 🇺🇸

Please DONATE and SHARE to help spread the word!

Sacred Heart Cemetery would like to make some improvements around the alter. Creating a area around the front of the alter that is hard surface would make this nice alter more use able. Memorial Day services is currently the only time the alter is really used.

Funeral services are changing. Families are having smaller services. This would give a another option for a service in the cemetery when weather is permitting.

In the past people have ask to donate a bench to be put in the cemetery. This would create a nice inviting and peaceful area to sit in the cemetery.

Unfortunately with the cost of Mowing and other areas of up keep every year the funds for a project of this size would take sometime to save up. If you would be interested in donating towards this project please contact the Sacred Heart Parish office at 319-465-5944.

We also have a local woodworker who is willing to make casket flag cases for $45.00. That would be the cost of supplies, no charge for labor. Reach out if you are looking for a case to put your folded flag in to preserve it for many generations.
