Project Description

1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place?

Miramar National Cemetery located just east of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar is a growing cemetery and currently has 22,000 graves or columbarium niches. There is currently no funding or support to conduct what is a traditional effort to place small American flags at the gravestones and the niches. This project will team with cemetery management to rectify that situation.

3. Who were the beneficiaries, how were they impacted by this project, and what humanitarian need was met?

4. How many Rotarians participated in the project? 300+

5. What did they do? Please give at least two examples, not including financial support provided to the project.

Rotary District 5340 will solicit approximately 200-300 volunteers to place the flags on Saturday, May 25 in anticipation of Memorial Day on May 27 and will subsequently remove them on May 28. The flags will be stored at a facility at MCAS Miramar. This grant will fund procurement and shipment of the flags.

6. If a cooperating organization was involved, what was its role?

Miramar National Cemetery supported the work.
