National - (MO) - Battle of Fort San Carlos Commemoration
2026-05-31 08:00 - 17:00 | GA
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.

If your schedule permits, stay a night or two. The town is blessed with some very nice restaurants and shops for the spouse if she joins you.

I look forward to seeing you! MOSSAR will notify everyone when online registration is established.
