The Avenue of Flags
The Avenue of Flags is a Memorial Day presentation of Veterans burial flags lining the lanes throughout Sunset Gardens Cemetery.
Over 1,200 Veteran Flags have been given by family members and each flagpole has the Veteran’s name displayed.
Yellow ribbons mark the flags on their first year flown and flags continue to fly every year on Memorial Day until their retirement.
