This day is recognized for a local 96 year old WWII Veteran named Bob Palmer.

Mr. Palmer served in the US Army from August 1942 to December 1945.

​

For the past 30+ years Mr Palmer has categorized and placed over 1200 flags each year on Veterans graves from the Southeast, mostly by himself.

​

In 2012 The Bob Palmer Project began, for our community to be able to participate in Mr Palmer's efforts. 

​

Our community now places the 1200+ flags on the last Saturday every April to prepare our Veteran's graves for Memorial Day and to honor Bob Palmer and his commitment to our veterans and community.

​

The New York Riders are very humbled to be able to participate in such an important event of remembrance for our veterans.
