Light the Fire Closing & Memorial Day Ceremony

DATE: Saturday, May 23rd

TIME: 11:00 AM–4:00 PM

LOCATION: OPFOB Flagpole & Barn

COST: Free and open to the Public

Our 22 day fire will officially come to an end as we transition the fire that has been burning in recognition of veteran suicide, to a fire that will burn in remembrance of those we lost on the battlefield.

Optional Coffee & Camaraderie will start at 9:00 am in the barn, with the ceremony kicking off promptly at 11:00 am at the flagpole. Stay to watch this last fire burn, enjoy lunch, and share more camaraderie.

More details coming soon!

We will be announcing our guest of honor and keynote speaker in the coming weeks. This year’s Memorial Day ceremony will carry special significance, and we look forward to sharing more about the voices who will help us honor the fallen and mark this powerful transition.

“OPFOB is all about healing and building peer-to-peer relationships. We are losing more of our heroes to suicide than we did in battle. I have seen firsthand the positive impact OPFOB has made on them and their families.”
