Upcoming Events - 2026

Signature Annual Event

Flowers of Remembrance

"Each flower is a promise kept" ~Anonymous Volunteer

Held each year in Arlington National Cemetery, Flowers of Remembrance invites members of the public to lay a flower at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier on the day before Memorial Day.

This rare opportunity—often reserved for Sentinels and military leaders—allows visitors to honor service and sacrifice in a powerful, personal way. Each flower laid connects individual remembrance with the collective legacy of service.

Details for the 2026 event will be updated here every few weeks.
