Description
Join us in honoring our heroes at Fort Donelson National Battlefield! We are seeking dedicated volunteers to help place a U.S. flag at each headstone in the Fort Donelson National Cemetery. This meaningful event takes place every year just before Memorial Day, a time when we remember and pay tribute to those who have bravely served our country.
By volunteering, you will be part of a proud tradition that shows our gratitude and respect for the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. If you have any questions, please call the Fort Donelson Visitor Center at 1-931-232-5706.
We will meet at the Fort Donelson National Cemetery on Friday, May 23rd, at 2:00 PM. The cemetery is located at 174 National Cemetery Drive, Dover, TN 37058. Please wear comfortable footwear and bring water to stay hydrated.
Let’s come together as a community to show our respect and appreciation for those who fought for our freedom. Updates or cancellations due to weather will be posted on the park's Facebook page.
