Flags-In May 21, 2025

We were surprised and thrilled to see the tremendous turnout on a cold, wet day for Flags-In at the Massachusetts Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Agawam! Placing American flags at the headstones was such a wonderful way to Remember and Honor our veterans for Memorial Day.

Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who showed up to help the cemetery grounds crew and admin staff place 10,175 flags at the headstones and columbarium. We completed the flag placement in just one hour due to the help of caring individuals, families, and groups including Xfinity, Mass Mutual, Westover Air Force Base, and the Agawam girls Lacrosse team.

Please add a comment in the "Contact Us" section on the footer of our website to let us know if we missed your group!

Below are photos of this year's "Flags-In" effort.
