The Chattanooga National Cemetery would like to invite all veterans, family members and the public to the 2018 Veteran’s Day Program at the Chattanooga National Cemetery Pavilion on Sunday at 2 p.m. The American Legion Post 95 Band will provide a musical medley and the Choo Choo Chorus will sing traditional songs and medleys. Judi Davenport, will be the keynote speaker, president-elect ROA: colonel, USA, retired.
Please note that due to parking restrictions at the cemetery only vehicles with a handicapped pass or plate will be allowed to park at the cemetery; all other attendees will park at the National Guard Armory on Holtzclaw Avenue and ride a bus to and from the cemetery.
Chattanooga National Cemetery staff will raise 208 American flags on both sides of the cemetery roadway Friday afternoon. "This display of the American Flags is called the “Avenue of Flags” and is the primary display of respect for the service performed by our Nation's veterans," officials said. "All these flags once draped a deceased veteran’s casket, which afterward was folded and presented to the next-of-kin who in turn donated them to the Chattanooga National Cemetery to fly on Memorial Day, Veteran’s Day and other significant days, when weather permits."
