Honoring Veterans on Memorial Day

Have you ever driven by a cemetery on Memorial Day and noticed the sea of US flags on the grave markers? I never gave it much thought until I ran into to someone that volunteers to place the flags at each veterans grave. I just assumed that the cemetery staff was responsible but the fact is that it would be an impossible task at many cemeteries. One of the cemeteries in the city has 15,000 veterans needing flags. Its just food for thought if you are looking to honor veterans on Memorial Day. Maybe next year we can call our local cemetery and see if they need help with the flags.
