Here you will be able to learn more about the veteran grave flagging program in the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations as well as to identify those veterans who are being flagged at this time and those whom are flagging them.
With this information you, as well as the state, will know where Memorial Day Grave Flags are being placed, if there are others veterans that are not being flagged they can be added to the program, who is doing the flagging, how we can better distribute our volunteers to provide greater coverage to flag more veterans, how you can volunteer to assist with this program and provides the state with accountability for their (we, our tax dollars) payment of this program.
Program's Purpose
Website Instructions
In order to fully understand how to use this website you will need to understand its structure. You will see the standard pages at the top of the pages, this is the Navigation Bar, these tabs include Home, Veterans, Volunteers, Graves, Flagging, and Contact.
You are on the home page, this page will help you to use and understand the program and website.
This page will explain just what we mean by the term Veteran, who is eligible for a flag and a breakdown of abbreviations and glossary of terms used throughout the website.
This page we introduce you to the Volunteers that give of their time to Honor the Men and Women who have defended our Nation & Freedom. You will find Short bios on each group and find information/links on how to contact or join them.
This page will assist you in locating veterans who are being flagged in each cemetery in the state, at this time, you will need to know the grave location of any individual veteran to confirm that they are being flagged or not being flagged. What this page will provide now, a list of every city/town in the the state, a list of every cemetery within each city/town, contact information on the group or groups that are flagging that cemetery and a list of those veterans within the cemetery that are currently being flagged.
This page will assist you with the standards of flagging that we are trying to set up with this program as well as how to download and use the forms or e-forms that can be filled out on your phone in the field. It will introduce you to the data collection style we need to collect the information to populate the website and future database to help others down the road.
Once this program has gotten off the ground and has been established a Flagged Graves Database will be added to assist the public in locating their relative within the state and also to ensure they and every deceased veteran has been included in this program.
