Visitors paid their respects for loved ones at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver on May 25, 2025.
Hundreds of volunteers with Flags for Fallen Vets helped place flags on every single grave marker of fallen vets and their family members for the weekends events. Amber Schoenrock, lead coordinator for the organization, said this year they placed 109,000 flags costing $10,000 to do. They rely on volunteers to help them place the flags as well as pick up the flags after the long holiday.
Memorial Day is a day to honor and remember those who have died while serving in the United States military. It’s observed on the last Monday of May and is a time for reflection and remembrance. It began as a way to decorate the graves of Civil War soldiers.
