Candle, Wreath and Flag Project
Every year, before Memorial Day, the Ministry of Defense places a yahrzeit candle, a wreath, and the flag of Israel with a Izkor ribbon on the grave of each of Israel's fallen defense and security forces, to honor the memory of all the fallen.
The yahrzeit candle, wreath and flag are placed before the eve of Memorial Day and removed after Independence Day.
The placing of a candle, a wreath, and a flag is a unique project for Memorial Day and part of a fabric of activities to mark Memorial Day.
The memory of Israel's fallen defense and security forces will be cherished forever and will continue to be our guiding light.
