AVENUE OF FLAGS
American Pride
VFW PROJECT HONORS RELATIVES, FRIENDS
American flags flanking the road leading into the Wright City Cemetery is an impressive sight. Each of the flags have been purchased and donated by area residents in honor or memory of a relative or friend.
The flags are displayed on Memorial Day weekend, Flag Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day and Veteran's Day. (weather permitting)
25 YEAR OLD TRADITION
The Avenue of Flags was dedicated Memorial Day in 1997 with 26 flags. Today, volunteers place over 200 flags along the roads of the cemetery.
This project was started by members of the Les Singer memorial VFW Post 10687 and Ladies Auxiliary.

The cost to donate the 4' x 6' flag is $50. This covers the expense of the flag and pole unit. Contact Karen Cox, auxiliary member with questions or to order a flag in memory or honor of someone at 636-384-0539
