Honor a Veteran, Place and Retrieve a Gravesite Flag - May 27th and June 3rd
We must place thousands of small American Flags near the internment sites (graves and columbariums) for our deceased service members, veterans, and family. This process first includes creating a hole in the hard dirt and placing the flag in the spot. For the retrieval, we need to remove the flags, sort the ones we can keep for the next year, bundle them up in sets of about 30, rubber band them together, and place the damaged flags into bins to destroy them appropriately. There are different dates for each activity:
- Flag Placements, Saturday, May 27, at 7:30 a.m. COMPLETE, thank you!
- Flag Retrievals, Saturday, June 3 at 7 a.m.
Sign up with your family and friends using the button below.
All volunteer opportunities are now filled. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered this year!
We have several opportunities for the parade where you can help, including:
The annual Phoenix Veterans Day Parade is an all-volunteer effort, requiring hundreds of willing hands to honor the contributions of our U.S. veterans and help build a patriotic Phoenix community spirit that recognizes the sacrifices veterans make for our country. If you feel you could help in some way, please click the link under the area that interests you. We couldn’t put on an event like this without our wonderful volunteers! When: November 11 Time: Approximately 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.
