Countdown to 
American Battle Monuments Commission sites are not generally available for non-government-sponsored events. However, outside event requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure approved events uphold ABMC’s mission of honoring those buried and memorialized at its sites. Examples of events include concerts and ceremonies. ABMC requires potential hosts to submit an event request form to the prospective site, either a hard copy or digitally, at least 30 days prior to the requested event date. Contact information for each site is included within the form.
Event Q&As
Do I need to fill out an event request to lay a wreath at an ABMC site?
Simply laying a wreath at a monument or gravesite does not require a form, unless requesting it as a part of a longer ceremony expected to last more than 5 minutes. These short duration wreath presentations should be coordinated directly with cemetery staff.
Can I participate in the raising and lowering of the flag at an ABMC site?
Groups or individuals interested in participating in flag ceremonies should contact the site directly.
Does my tour group need to fill out an event request form?
Tour groups do not need to fill out an event request form, unless they would like to hold a ceremony on site.
Do I need to fill out a request form if I want to participate in an ABMC-sponsored ceremony such as placing a wreath at a Memorial Day ceremony?
Groups or individuals interested in participating in an ABMC-sponsored ceremony, such as Memorial Day or Veterans Day, should contact the site directly.
