At the Nation’s 158th Official Memorial Day Observance at Arlington Cemetery, IDVA Director Terry Prince represented Illinois and the National Association of State Directors of Veterans Affairs (NASDVA) as its president. He participated in the traditional parade of colors of veterans’ organizations and laid a wreath around the perimeter of the Memorial Amphitheater to honor the service and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our nation. The Memorial Day Observance is the culmination of three days of recognition, including Flags in, where the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as the Old Guard, places small American flags at over 260,000 graves. On Sunday, Flowers of Remembrance Day, visitors are invited to place flowers at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and at gravesites.

Arlington National Cemetery honors those who have served our nation over 639 acres of rolling green hills and trees dating back hundreds of years. The carefully designed landscape demonstrates respect for those who are laid to rest and is a beautiful space for visitors
