The National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force is planning for the second Annual Remembering the Fallen: 26,000 flags | One Mission will provide a place of deep reflection on the ultimate sacrifice of not only the young men of the Eighth, but all those heroes who gave their lives in service to our country from 1941 to 1945.

The 26,000 48-star WWII-era flags will be placed in the Memorial Garden of the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force by groups of volunteers. The flag display in the garden will be open to the public from Thursday, May 26 to Monday, May 30, 2022, and will cover the museum’s entire memorial garden and chapel grounds.

We are looking for volunteers to help us place these flags starting on Tuesday, May 24^th. Those interested in volunteering should go to https://www.mightyeighth.org/flagsforthefallen/
