We welcome you to the 29th Annual Reenactment of the Changing of the Guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, located at Floral Haven Cemetery in Broken Arrow Oklahoma.We are driven by a single goal; to provide an avenue for veterans and their families to remember, to honor, and to grieve.
The Youth on Guard team re-enacts the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknowns located in Arlington National Cemetery. The re-enactment occurs over Memorial Day weekend, at Floral Haven Cemetery in Broken Arrow, OK, every year for 54 hours straight.
OPENING CEREMONY: Saturday, May 25, 10 A.M. - 12 A.M.
REENACTMENT Begins Saturday, May 25, at 1 P.M. and continues through Monday at 3:30 P.M.
OUR PURPOSE:
TO NEVER FORGET
An unknown soldier is one who has given everything in service to their country, including their identity. A soldier never dies until they are forgotten. We will never forget.
TO PROVIDE A PLACE TO GRIEVE
There are many that will never be able to visit Arlington National Cemetery. Our re-enactment provides an avenue for them to pursue closure.
TO JOIN IN REMEMBRANCE
There are veterans who have stories that they will never tell. To stand guard over the Unknowns is to also stand guard over the deeds and acts of bravery which are also unknown.
TO RAISE A GENERATION OF YOUTH WITH A MINDSET OF HONOR
The sixth line of the sentinel’s creed reads, “My standard will remain perfection.” The youth who train to serve on the Youth on Guard team learn, through striving for perfection, about duty, honor, and respect. This shapes each one to be an individual whose character and actions are fashioned to reflect the honor that the unknowns deserve.
