The Dauphin County Veterans' Affairs Office connects veterans and their families to the social services they may need, including education, medical services, or housing. The Office also serves as an archive of military history for Dauphin County dating back to the American Revolution, the Civil War and other conflicts. In addition, the Veterans' Affairs Office coordinates special honors and ceremonies to commemorate veterans.

Each year, the Dauphin County Veterans' Affairs Office identifies and commemorates nearly 23,000 veterans with an American Flag. The flags are placed on or near the grave markers of veterans who served this country. Veterans of Vietnam, Korea, World War II, World War I, the Civil War, the Revolutionary War and others will be honored.

Citizens who are interested in obtaining an American flag marker for a deceased veteran who is buried in Dauphin County should contact their local veterans organizations, or call Dauphin County Veterans' Affairs Office at (717) 780 6356 for more information.
