Join us in a meaningful tribute to honor our nation's heroes as we gather to remove approximately 150 U.S. flags from Washington Crossing National Cemetery following Memorial Day. Together, we will take down the temporary flagpoles and respectfully retire the "Avenue of Flags," a breathtaking display that pays homage to those who have served and sacrificed.

The "Avenue of Flags" features approximately 150 U.S. flags, each measuring 4 ½ by 9 feet, flying atop 20-foot removable poles along the cemetery’s roads. Each flag has been generously donated by a family whose loved one is buried here, adding a deeply personal touch to this tribute. The flags, spaced 30 feet apart, create a solemn and dignified display.

This service project requires walking the length of the cemetery, and all ages are welcome to participate. Given the delicate nature of the cotton burial flags, they are only displayed a few times a year—usually for Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Join us in this important effort to honor our nation's heroes.

* It is important to register for this service project, as this is the only way we can keep you updated on any changes, especially if the weather dictates a reschedule.

This project will honor the life and legacy of 1st LT Travis Manion, USMC.
