Ace Hardware is giving away 1 million American flags for Memorial Day on Saturday, May 23, 2026. These are 8″x12″ stick flags, suitable for placing on a grave, field, or garden as a tribute to a fallen serviceman or servicewomen. Before there was Memorial Day, there was Decoration Day. This observance started after the end of the Civil War. Communities would place flags, as well as flowers and wreaths, on the graves of fallen soldiers. Over time, Decoration Day evolved into Memorial Day, a national observance held annually on the last Monday in May. The tradition of placing small flags on graves continues.

Ace Hardware is also giving away flags to VFW posts, to be used for marking and honoring veterans' graves this Memorial Day. Please check out our list of Memorial Day Weekend events in the Triangle.
