Avenue of Flags Dedication 2019

Avenue of Flags Memorial Day 2019

The flags of our nation that were dedicated and flown on this year's Memorial Day ceremony (May 24, 2019) were donated by the family members of deceased veterans who served in the United States Military. Four members of the VVA were honored. They include Frank Ciszek, US Navy, Allen "Lee" Russell, US Army, Warren Tobin, US Army, and Louis Wojtysiak, US Navy.

The Avenue of Flags began its march along Veterans Memorial Boulevard in May 1995 and continues on strengthened by its compelling call. A final, yet lasting tribute, each flag lends an added sanctity to these grounds as each new name is called. The flags serve as an everlasting reminder of the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform.
