AVENUE OF FLAGS
American Pride
VFW PROJECT HONORS RELATIVES, FRIENDS
American flags flanking the road leading into the Wright City Cemetery is an impressive sight. Each of the flags have been purchased and donated by area residents in honor or memory of a relative or friend.
The flags are displayed on Memorial Day weekend, Flag Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day. (weather permitting)
TRADITION for
over 25 YEARS
The Avenue of Flags was dedicated Memorial Day in 1997 with 26 flags. Today, volunteers place over 200 flags along the roads of the cemetery.
This project was started by members of the Les Singer memorial VFW Post 10687 and Ladies Auxiliary.
Volunteer
Volunteers assist in placing the flags throughout the year. If you would like to help with this task or donate a flag, send us a message via this site and we will put you in contact with the group in charge of the avenue of flags.
