Memorial Day Tribute: ‘A Flower on Every Grave’

05/26/2025 8:00 AM - 05/26/2025 7:00 PM

Victory for Veterans (VFV) is proud to announce the return of its annual event, ‘A Flower on Every Grave’, now bigger and more impactful than ever. This inspiring initiative invites volunteers, veterans’ organizations, and community members to honor our fallen service members by placing flowers at their gravesites. The project seeks to ensure that no veteran is ever forgotten, symbolized by placing a flower as an expression of gratitude and remembrance.

Since launching in 2021 with just six locations, the campaign has grown into a national movement expanding to 12 sites this year. Volunteers are encouraged to visit one of our 12 locations on Memorial Day, May 26. Participation transforms this day of reflection into an active tribute, honoring our fallen heroes through community involvement.

“Thanks to the generosity of our supporters and partners, we’ve seen this campaign grow each year,” says Colonel (Ret.) Mikel Burroughs, CEO of Victory for Veterans. “A flower on every grave is more than a gesture — it’s a symbol of our ongoing gratitude. Our mission is to ensure every fallen hero feels the nation’s deep appreciation.”

Victory for Veterans has partnered with Mayesh Florist and Bill Doran Amatos to provide high-quality, fresh flowers for each site. For every dollar spent, we receive 50 cents to support the campaign. Community involvement is central to this effort, and we call on individuals and organizations to donate, sponsor locations, and volunteer their time to help us distribute flowers across these cemeteries.
