Memorial Day - Remembering Our Veterans
Many Scouting units work with area Veterans Service Organizations (VSO's) to place flags on the graves of veterans for Memorial Day. This year, the Franklin County Veterans Service Commission will recognize Scouts who participate by awarding them a patch at a special event to be held at Veterans Memorial at 7 PM on Friday, June 6.

To take part in the flag placement program, units must contact a local VFW or American Legion Post to let them know you would like to participate. You should also provide an estimate of the number of Scouts who will take part. The post is responsible for letting the FCVSC know how many patches they will need.
