VFV Memorial Day Flowers - Houston National Cemetery

🌺 NO VETERAN FORGOTTEN: Help Us Honor 111,000+ Heroes This Memorial Day 🇺🇸

This Memorial Day, we have a mission: to place a flower on every veteran’s grave at Houston National Cemetery.

Through Victory For Veterans’ "A Flower on Every Grave" initiative, your donation does more than provide a tribute; it funds life-saving su***de prevention and mental health resources for the warriors still with us.

🌼 How You Can Make a Difference:
Your $25, $50, or $100 gift ensures that when the sun rises on Monday, May 25, 2026, at the foot of every headstone is adorned with a symbol of our undying gratitude.

Hey there all Volunteers,

Thank you for your support this year and we're looking forward to seeing you all promptly at 8:00 AM at the cemetery. I've attached a map showing you where the information center and restrooms are when you drive in the main entrance. Very easy this year and plenty of parking where we will be set up and also behind the Information Center there is additional parking.

We will be parked right in front of the restrooms with the white Cadillac Escalade and the roses will be delivered at 7:30 AM where myself, Bella, and my 89 year mother will be breaking down the boxes and getting ready for distribution.

We will get a count of all of our volunteers and any additional roses that you bring as well, then we take a group picture with all of the roses in front of us.

If you already have a loved one buried at Houston National Cemetery and you know the section, then that is the section you will be assigned. If you don't we will assign one to you.

Please remember that all roses must be placed on the ground at least a foot away from the headstone. Please don't place roses on the headstone or disturb any other bouquets or coins on the headstone. Do not lean roses against the headstone.

If you were unable to donate the roses this year, please bring at least 2 to 3 dozen roses with you, so we have more to place this year.

Look forward to seeing everyone bright and early Monday morning at 8:00 AM.

Thank you,

Mikel J. Burroughs
