STATE-BY-STATE

Welcome to a page dedicated to documenting the historic journey of the Patriot Soil Flag as is travels across America state-by-state.

This powerful journey will visit national veterans cemeteries throughout the country, where the Patriot Soil Flag will be respectfully displayed. At each stop, Americans from all walks of life—celebrities, public officials, Gold Star families, military personnel, veterans, and everyday citizens—will come together to honor those who served and sacrificed for our nation.

Each event offers a unique opportunity to participate in history. Visitors will be invited to take part in a solemn soil collection process at the resting places of our nation’s heroes. Receptacles will be provided so individuals and families can gather a small amount of soil from these sacred grounds. That soil will be blended on-site, with a portion placed into a vial and permanently attached to a corresponding star on the Patriot Soil Flag.

In addition, soil collected from each state will ultimately be combined with soil gathered from across the nation—including the sacred grounds of Arlington National Cemetery. This unified soil will be used to plant “Patriot Trees” at veterans cemeteries nationwide, creating a living tribute that connects every state, community, and generation in remembrance.

Through this collective effort, we will gather soil from more than one million veteran resting places across the United States—ensuring every participant becomes part of a unified national tribute honoring the lives and legacy of millions of veterans.

Photographs from each event—including participants and honored sites—will be shared on PatriotSoil.org and PatriotSoilFlag.org, preserving these moments for generations to come.

This state-by-state journey will include advance notice for each location, with dates, times, and event details so communities can gather in large numbers.

The journey will begin Memorial Day weekend in Nashville, Tennessee, followed by the next stop in Florida.

We invite every American to take part in this historic mission.

This is more than an event—it is a rare and profound honor. It is an opportunity to serve those who have served us, giving back in a deeply personal and tangible way. By participating, you help build a living symbol of remembrance, unity, and gratitude—one that will take root across the nation through the planting of Patriot Trees.

Answer the call. Stand with us. Honor their sacrifice.
Be part of this historic journey.
