Who does this fundraiser benefit?

When you sponsor a flag, your gift will directly support the men and women in our Veterans Ministry Program by providing meals, shelter, dental care, transitional housing, and more life-changing resources.

Can I volunteer to place the flags?

Thank you for your interest! The Idaho State Veterans Cemetery has a dedicated team of volunteers including the Young Marines, Sea Cadets, Trail Life Men, Boy Scouts, Heritage Girls and more who will be lovingly placing the flags. 

Can I volunteer to help pick up the flags?

Yes, we would love your help in picking up the flags after Flags for the Brave. On Tuesday, May 27, 205 at 9 am a group will gather at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery (10100 Horseshoe Bend Road, Boise, 83714) for approximately an hour until all the flags are collected.

Volunteers can park at the Visitor Center/Restroom just inside the Veterans Cemetery gates. There will be a Veterans Cemetery Staff there to guide volunteers through what to do.

You can sign up for this on the Volunteer Application on our website and just note that you would like to help with the flag pickup!

Can I choose where to place my flag?

While you won’t be able to choose a specific location for your flag sponsorship, you can make a gift in memory or in honor of a loved one. If you choose, we’ll also gladly send a card to their family to let them know about your meaningful tribute.

When is the Memorial Day Ceremony?

The Memorial Day Ceremony will be held at 10:00 am at the Idaho State Veterans Cemetery, located at 10100 Horseshoe Bend Rd, Boise, ID, 83714 on Monday, May 26th.
