Fort Logan National Cemetery Memorial Day Flags will be placed on Sunday, May 29, 2022 at 9:00AM and will be removed on Saturday, June 4, 2022, also at 9:00AM.
The Colorado Patriot Guard will be meeting as a group on both May 29th and June 4th. We will stage at the intersection of Denver Drive and Wyoming Street by 8:15AM. This is just inside of the North Gate (Sheridan Blvd.) of Fort Logan.
Please bring gloves and many find it helpful to have a screwdriver to be used to make holes in order to make Flag placement a bit easier.
