Avenue of Flags was a donation of
44 Flag Poles finished in
November 2021
Bakersfield is one of the only National Cemeteries we are aware of that keeps flags up year round, because of the prohibitive replacement cost.
The public continues to comment how much they love to see the flags up when they visit the grounds, but the wear and tear from the winds and weather are very hard on the flags.
The committee fundraises to purchase the 44 new beautiful American flags for the public to enjoy.

The Saturday before Memorial Day we honor our Veterans who paid the ultimate sacrifice
The next one will be
