Thank you Cedar Hill Disabled American Veterans Chapter 240 for sharing as we honor our comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Honor the Fallen. Support the Living.

This Memorial Day, Monday, May 25, 2026, we invite you to stand with Victory for Veterans, Inc. for our annual "A Flower on Every Grave!" project. Across the nation, silent rows of headstones tell stories of ultimate valor; it is our solemn duty to ensure none of those stories are forgotten.

Our mission goes beyond a single day of remembrance. Victory for Veterans is dedicated to saving lives through su***de prevention and healing the "invisible wounds" of our veterans and first responders. For every $2.00 donated to this program, $1.00 is directly allocated to support these life-saving mental health initiatives. By placing a rose on a grave, you aren't just honoring a hero of the past—you are helping to protect a hero of the present.
