Honoring Veterans
Our Mission
Support and volunteer with us as we honor our fallen heroes by placing live wreaths on every veteran gravesite in the Ozark Memorial Park Cemetery on December 6, 2025. We are actively seeking enough donations to secure the 1100 live wreaths we need. Your donation of $17 per wreath helps us continue this tradition of remembrance and respect.

Honoring Heroes
The Avenue of Freedom proudly displays 60 flags on Gretna Road to honor all veterans and first responders. They fly each year between April and December. Join Branson Veterans Task Force in paying tribute to these heroes. Our mission is to recognize, support, honor, and remember those who have served our country. Through various initiatives and events, we strive to create a community that values and respects the sacrifices made by our brave men and women. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to protecting our freedom. Let's stand united in gratitude and appreciation
Sponsor a flag program
Through this initiative you are invited to sponsor a flag in honor or in memory of a veteran or first responder.
For a $100 donation sponsorship, one of the flags flown on the Avenue of Freedom will be dedicated to your veteran/first responder. At the end of the season your flag will be placed in a display case and sent to you along with a certificate of authenticity.
