Flags of Ft Snelling Annual Usher Memorial Day

I only registered us for 6, but I can submit a request for additional members if slots are still available. Reach out to me if the event if books so I can make arrangements to include you. This is not the Flag Placement Detail. You may need to provide instructions to flag placement detail. Volunteers must be able to have kindness towards other but also be willing/able to enforce rules, provide guidance, and instructions to others as needed. For this reason, very mature teens may participate, but this assignment is not appropriate for children. The terrain is grassy field with various elevations. You may need to step up/down from curb. Groups will move primarily as a unit in line with each other, but there may be some deviation if you are unable to walk fast or for long distances. As headstone Usher, you will be responsible for watching Flag Placement volunteers and verifying that all headstones receive a flag. You may be asked to assist in flag placement. Keep in mind you will be outside for the entire shift, rain or shine. Dress for weather. Cemetery Rules: Standing the entire time. Wear comfortable clothes. No running, leaning/sitting/resting/on headstones or monuments. Don't pick up flowers or flags, coins, or other items placed on headstones. No advertisement of any kind. Do not disrupt visitors at graves. You can ask to place flag for them. If they deny, kindly give them a flag so they can place it themselves. No littering.
