A Tribute Flag may be purchased for $75 in honor or memory of your veteran or military member.

The Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives will have on permanent display a plaque with the names of each person honored with a Flag.

The Flags will be sited on utility poles to be flown on Highway 31 and on Hobbs Street. Approximately 100 flags have currently been purchased.
