Here's to all who have served and especially to those that lost their lives doing so.

Happy Memorial Day.

We can't thank you enough.

My Father & grandfather both served. My dad lied about his age ( only 16) and fought in WWII.
I don't know If I'd have had the guts to do what they , and many more brave men did for all of us

Thanks to all of our vets

As someone who once served, I look around and see reasons to thank them every day.

Each year the soldiers of the Third United States Infantry Regiment ("The Old Guard") take part in the ceremony called "Flags In." Just before Memorial Day, each grave in Arlington National Cemetery is decorated with a small American flag.

The flags remain in place until the conclusion of the Memorial Day Weekend when they are all removed. It is the only time during the year when American flags are permitted at all gravesites in the Cemetery.
