"Flags In" occurred on Friday, within just a few hours. HERE is the information about "Flags In."

There is not any sight more moving for me than gazing at Arlington National Cemetery with every single grave having that flag on it. And all, regardless of rank, have exactly the same flag.

I have family members there. One served in WW1 and the other in WW2. One of my former bosses also rests at Arlington; a high-ranking officer later in his career, he served as a bomber in WW2.

Will be going to the local VFW for Memorial Day. We have only two WW2 vets remaining with us at the post.

Military cemetery roll call:

My dad is at Bourne National Military Cemetery, Bourne, MA. (Cape Cod). WWII and Korea.

In my town we had our parade this morning from the memorial square to the cemetery. Many residents turn out and walk the route.
