I extend a heartfelt welcome and seek your attendance and command of Color Guard activities at the 2026 Commemoration and Grave marking Ceremonies at Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. Most years the event has been held the Sunday immediately preceding Memorial Day. However, in 2026, Missouri Society is hosting this national Color Guard event on May 31.
Please plan on attending and drop a pin on your calendar for this ceremony. We have had 30 plus color guard for the prior 3 years, and enjoy the full support of the community and their local militia group.
2026 is a special year that honors the signing of the Declaration of Independence. It will be a two-day event in Ste. Genevieve. The French Colonial Museum and historians will be Saturday’s highlight.
If plans come together, a first-time grave marking for a patriot may also get worked into Saturday’s schedule. The rural cemetery is south of Ste. Genevieve about 60 miles.
