On the Saturday prior to memorial Day, the Department of Ohio conducts this program which involves Dayton and the surrounding area Venture Scouts, Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, Brownie Units, The American Legion Auxiliary, Sons of The American Legion, and Legionnaires.

Scout representatives place American Legion flags at the headstones of over 40,000 graves.

The American Legion sponsors the “Avenue of Flags”: 425 flag poles bearing the casket flags of deceased veterans, which are flown on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day.
