The Avenue of Flags at the King City Cemetery is a powerful and moving tribute to the veterans of South Monterey County. Each flag represents a local hero who served our nation, creating a solemn and beautiful pathway of red, white, and blue that honors their courage, sacrifice, and legacy. These flags are raised on special occasions—such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day—to remind our community of the men and women who stood in defense of our freedoms.

The display is made possible through the dedication of volunteers, families, and local organizations who work together to preserve this tradition. The Avenue of Flags is more than a visual tribute; it is a living symbol of gratitude, respect, and remembrance. It ensures that every veteran’s service is recognized, and that future generations understand the cost of the freedoms we enjoy today.
