The White House Commission on Remembrance has partnered with the USS Arizona Pearl Harbor Memorial Museum in a nationwide flag raising effort. The flag will begin its journey on December 7th in Pearl Harbor during the National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.
During the journey the flag will visit 25 national cemeteries and historic battlefields across the Nation. A flag-raising ceremony to honor the service and sacrifices of America's fallen heroes and the families they left behind will be held at each location.
Old Glory will end its journey at the U.S. Capitol on May 26, 2008, where it will become part of the National Moment of Remembrance ceremony.
Members of the Pearl Harbor Survivors Association, elected officials, representatives from the military services, veterans and their families, and cemetery representatives are expected to be in attendance.
