Honoring Our Fallen seeks volunteers to assist in purchasing and placing flags out on gravesites at Riverside National Cemetery for Memorial Day. Riverside National Cemetery is the only national cemetery in the Southern California area that has no organized effort to do this. The sheer size of the cemetery (225,000+ gravesites) makes it virtually impossible for the cemetery to fund such a program. The public is welcome to participate in placing flags out on gravesites for Memorial Day; however, the cemetery requires it to be done at the volunteer’s sole expense. Here is an example of the impact your gift will have to help each and every gravesite proudly display an 8” x 12” US flag this Memorial Day.

• $100 gift will purchase 100 flags
• $250 gift will purchase 250 flags
• $500 gift will purchase 500 flags
• $1000 gift will purchase 1000 flags

Our service members have dedicated their lives to protecting this great country we live in. Your gift will have a significant impact on helping us to honor these men and women this Memorial Day by placing a flag on their gravesite. Thank you for partnering with us to show support for our service members, past and present! Donations can be made online at www.honoringourfallen.org or mailed to:

Veteran’s Day 2025 Flag Placement

Our ceremony will begin in the Amphitheater at 8:00 am on Saturday, November 8th. Flags will be passed out at the completion of the ceremony, 8:30 am, and not before.


We will return to retrieve the flags on Wednesday, November 12th, and hope you will be able to join us to help get everything put away for next year. We will start as the gates open at sunrise and work to get this done as quickly as possible. If you can come just for an hour on Wednesday for flag retrievial that is great and all support will help us to get this completed. If you have time and want to help in the flag repair area let us know and we will get you connected with our team leader. No sign up or registration necessary.
