Additional Information

• SUBMITTING YOUR HERO

  I am a family member of the fallen with a loved one interred at a participating national cemetery. Does it cost anything for my loved one to be visited and have a token placed?

  There is no cost to submit your loved one for a visit. It is our honor to pay tribute to them on Memorial Day weekend.

  Can you visit my loved one at my local National Cemetery?

  For 2023, #TheHonorProject will only be visiting fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery (Arlington, VA); Florida National Cemetery (Bushnell, FL); Fort Logan National Cemetery (Denver, CO); Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery (San Antonio, TX); Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery (Glennville, GA); Great Lakes National Cemetery (Holly, MI); Hampton National Cemetery (Hampton, VA); Jacksonville National Cemetery (Jacksonville, FL); Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West (Hopkinsville, KY); Rosecrans National Cemetery (San Diego, CA); Tahoma National Cemetery (Kent, WA); Washington Crossing National Cemetery (Bucks County, PA); West Point National Cemetery (West Point, NY); Valley of the Sun Mortuary & Cemetery (Chandler, AZ). If you’d like to honor a fallen hero located elsewhere, you may choose to host your own volunteer-led event. Please note that if you’d like to host a volunteer-led event, you must express interest by completing the form linked here by May 5, 2023.

  I am a family member of the fallen. May I also volunteer? 

  Absolutely. We encourage families of the fallen to volunteer. Please register at your location of choice when registration opportunities open in late March. Event organizers will contact you with details in May.

  Will I be able to tell if someone has visited my loved one?

  Yes. Our volunteers will directly text or email you a photo of your loved one’s interment site once they place their token, if you prefer. Some photos may also be posted on our social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram.

  What if I do not know the grave site location? 

  Most of the time, you can look up interment locations on national cemetery websites, but that is not necessary. We do ask that you provide your best estimation - even if it’s simply a section number - and we will take care of the rest. If you don’t have that information, our volunteers will find it.

• SERVING AS A VOLUNTEER

  I registered as a volunteer. What are the details? 

  TMF will contact all registered volunteers in early May to share details regarding exact dates for each national cemetery, meeting spots, procedures, times, and anything else you will need to know. Especially as it relates to Arlington National Cemetery, our team will be taking parking, rally points, and public transportation options into account. Volunteer registration for TMF-sponsored and volunteer-led events will close on May 12, 2023.

  I want to serve but I'm not located anywhere near the participating national cemeteries and am unable to travel. Can I help in another way?

  Absolutely. If you’d like to get involved with our effort but cannot travel to one of our participating national cemeteries on Memorial Day weekend, we encourage you to join a volunteer-led event in your community or host your own. You can learn about events hosted by local Spartans here. If you’d like to host your own event, you can express interest by completing this form by May 5, 2023.
