Memorial Flag Pick Up

PURPOSE:
Since 2016, we have proudly supported the Los Angeles National Cemetery (LANC) in their Memorial Day service program. Each year, on the Tuesday following Memorial Day, we come together to pickup 90,000 flags at the gravesites of our brave service members. This meaningful event is open to all – students, faculty, staff, and members of the greater Los Angeles community. We invite you to join us in this act of remembrance and show your support for Veterans and their families. Let's come together to honor those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice.
