Beginning at midnight on May 29, ceremonial watchfires will be lit across Rockland County and will burn continuously for 24 hours in honor of America’s fallen service members.

Organized by Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 333, the annual tradition serves as a solemn tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Community members are encouraged to participate in the respectful retirement of worn and unserviceable American flags. Flags may be dropped off at any watchfire location, and pickup arrangements are also available.

Throughout the vigil, veterans will stand watch in rotating shifts beside the fires, continuing a long-standing Memorial Day tradition observed throughout the county.

The four official Watchfire locations are:

  • Clausland Mountain Park
  • Piermont Pier
  • Bowline Point Park
  • Eugene Levy Memorial Park

Residents are invited to visit at any time during the 24-hour vigil to pay their respects, honor the fallen, and support the local veterans helping preserve this meaningful Memorial Day tradition.
