The Woodlawn Cemetery is the final resting place of more than 8,500 individuals who bravely served our nation in the U.S. Armed Forces. Woodlawn has honored veterans for years by recruiting volunteers like the Girl Scouts to salute America's heroes.

Each year, to thank those who answered the call, volunteers place flags on veterans' gravesites in the lead-up to Memorial Day. Volunteers receive maps that pinpoint locations and a list of known service members.
