Help to Keep our Flags Flying!
Your help is needed for our 10th Annual Virtual Gala

We were honored to gift the Avenue of Flags to Miramar National Cemetery in 2012 and now, the flagpoles are in dire need of major preventive maintenance to prevent catastrophic failure. For the last 13 years, the 50 flag poles have endured the Southern California weather with ocean winds bringing salt from the sea, plus heat and sun. We have a vendor ready to provide maintenance and the cost will be close to $100,000, which includes at least two changeouts of the flags. The 50 American Flags are also subject to wear and tear as they fly 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year over our nation’s heroes and their families. They cost $5,000 every time we change them.
Every donation helps to keep our flags flying over the hallowed grounds of Miramar National Cemetery!
