Memorial needs volunteers throughout the year for community events, collections, setup, outreach, parades, and our signature events. Parade participation is reserved for current K.I.A. Memorial volunteers and Gold Star Families, is first come, first served, and requires advance confirmation from K.I.A. Memorial.
