OUR 2014 NATIONAL CEMETERY MEMORIAL DAY SHIRTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE. DUE TO THE HIGH REQUEST FOR KID SHIRTS WE HAVE INCLUDED THEM FOR NEXT YEAR.
SOME BACKS OF SHIRTS MAY CHANGE AFTER ORDER DUE TO SPONSORS COMING ON BOARD.
2014 WILL BRING US EVEN CLOSER TO FULFILLING OUR MISSION TO ENSURE EACH VETERAN AT EVERY NATIONAL CEMETERY IS HONORED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL FLAG PLACED ON THEIR GRAVE SITE FOR MEMORIAL DAY. FLORIDA NATIONAL CEMETERY IN BUSHNELL, FLORIDA IS OUR NEXT PLACEMENT. IT IS THE FINAL RESTING PLACE TO OVER 120,000 FALLEN VETERANS AND THEIR SPOUSES AND WILL BRING OUR 2014 TOTAL FLAG PLACEMENT TO OVER 235,000.
THEN WE WILL PROCEED TO THE FINAL 9 CEMETERIES WHICH DO NOT HONOR OUR VETERANS WITH AN INDIVIDUAL FLAG PLACEMENT FOR MEMORIAL DAY. THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS:
SAN JOAQUIN VALLEY NATIONAL CEMETERY
SANTA NELLA, CA. 35,000+ VETERANS
RIVERSIDE NATIONAL CEMETERY
RIVERSIDE, CA 212,000+ VETERANS
MIRAMAR NATIONAL CEMETERY

532,200 VETERANS AND GROWING THAT ARE STILL NOT BEING HONORED WITH AN INDIVIDUAL AMERICAN FLAG. MORE NATIONAL CEMETERIES ARE BEING ADDED EACH YEAR. LET'S HOPE THE CITIES AND TOWNS AROUND THESE FINAL RESTING PLACES OF OUR FALLEN VETERANS ARE AS PATRIOTIC AS THE OTHER 117 NATIONAL CEMETERIES ARE.«

The Houston National Cemetery is one of our new Cemeteries for Flag Placement in 2013. Individual Flags have NOT been placed on each Grave Site since 1999.
The Cemetery was established in 1964 and has over 80,000 Veterans and Spouses Interred, this number should rise to 85,000 by Memorial Day 2013. There are currently 4 Medal of Honor Recipients Interned here. Anyone wishing to make a Donation or Volunteer for This Years Flag Placement and Removal please click the contact us link or the doanation link above. Our hope is to place Flags at the Houston National Cemeteries this year and beyond.
