Our Services
The Nurse Honor Guard of Northern Virginia offers tributes to honor nurses in our community. We serve in Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, Spotsylvania and Stafford counties, and the cities of Alexandria, Fredericksburg, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park. We are also available for services at Arlington National Cemetery. Our services are provided at no cost to the family or facility, though donations are appreciated to help us continue our mission.
