Honoring Our Veterans
Veteran Flags
Riverview's volunteers and employees place veteran flags each year on graves where we can visually identify a veteran. We cover 30 acres of graves to place these flags and appreciate any volunteer help. We are placing flags at 9AM Monday, May 15th, weather permitting, if you'd like to help. If your veteran does not get a flag, the volunteers probably couldn't see their veteran status. We ask that you either call our office to arrange an emblem be permanently applied, or you may get a flag and holder from our extras staked near our maintenance building and place it yourself. Emblems are free through the VA with a DD214 and a signed application. We can e-mail you the form to return with a DD214 if we can help get a VA medallion for your veteran.
We hold Memorial Day Services on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend each year at 10AM. We hold services at 10AM on the north side of the Mausoleum Chapel. The local Veterans' Organizations will be out to help us remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Please drive out Saturday, bring a lawn chair and arrive in time for the 10AM start.
Our Veteran’s Section is in front of the mausoleum; veterans are eligible for a free space there. You do not have to be a veteran to be buried in our Veteran Section, but related to one there.
