Flags-Out May 27, 2026

We are deeply grateful to the dedicated volunteers who came to the MA Veterans Memorial Cemetery at Agawam on a warm, muggy day to help retire nearly 10,800 American flags.

The flags had been placed on May 20th in honor of veterans for Memorial Day.

Below are photos showing volunteers and cemetery grounds crew working together to remove the flags from the beautifully manicured grounds.

Volunteers received instructions from the grounds crew:
