Ace Hardware is giving away 1 million American flags for Memorial Day on Saturday, May 27, 2023.
These are 8″x12″ stick flags, suitable for placing on a grave, field, or garden as a tribute to a fallen serviceman or servicewomen.
The tradition of placing flags on the graves of fallen servicemen and servicewomen on Memorial Day has a long and meaningful history. After the Civil War, the holiday was known as Decoration Day. Communities would gather to adorn the graves of fallen soldiers with flowers, wreaths, and flags, symbolizing remembrance and gratitude.
Over time, the tradition evolved into Memorial Day, a national observance held annually on the last Monday in May. The tradition of placing small flags on graves continues.
No purchase is required. The first 240 customers at each participating store will receive a flag, while supplies last. Ace Hardware is also giving away flags to VFW posts, to be used for marking and honoring veterans’ graves this Memorial Day.
Visit any Ace Hardware on May 27, 2023, to pick up a flag, while supplies last.
