Steenbergen Cemetery will not be hosting Memorial Day services this year. After careful consideration, we have decided not to hold a separate event, as a Memorial Day service is already being conducted in Mt. Pulaski. However, we encourage all to take the time to visit Steenbergen and reflect on the courage and sacrifice of our veterans, who selflessly served our country.

To honor their legacy, the “Avenue of Flags” will proudly be displayed from Saturday, May 24th, through Memorial Day at 5 PM. These flags stand as a tribute to the veterans who are buried at Steenbergen, and they serve as a solemn reminder of the enduring gratitude we owe to them.

We remain deeply committed to providing a respectful environment for remembrance. Whether you visit to reflect, remember, or simply pay respects, we invite everyone to acknowledge the courage and dedication of those who wore the uniform and served with honor.

The Steenbergen Board of Trustees
