Memorial Day Avenue of Flags

On Memorial Day weekend, the avenues of Cedar Memorial Park are lined with more than 1,500 American flags donated by families of veterans. The experience of driving through the cemetery surrounded by "Red, White and Blue" makes anyone proud to be an American, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our men and women in the military.
