Veterans Common
Located on the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Trail in Falls Church, Veterans Common has been a meeting place for patriotic remembrances for decades. Members of the Falls Church Community, Falls Church Fire Department and other patriotic organizations gather to celebrate the sacrifices of our Veterans on Federal holidays. Fairfax Resolves Chapter participates with the American Legion Post for early-morning observances on Memorial Day, Labor Day, and Veterans Day.
