MEMORIAL DAY
Request Military Funeral Honors: Eligible veterans are entitled to a military funeral honors ceremony, which features the folding and presentation of the American flag, the playing of Taps, and a firing detail. Speak with your funeral director to arrange this.
Apply for Memorial Items: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides government headstones or markers, burial flags, Presidential Memorial Certificates, and commemorative medallions for eligible veterans.
Create an Online Tribute: Share their service story and photos on the Veterans Legacy Memorial or the VVMF Honor Roll.
Perform a Grave Tribute: Place specific coins on the veteran's headstone. A penny means you visited, a nickel indicates you attended boot camp together, a dime signifies you served together, and a quarter means you were present when the veteran passed away.
