One week ago today, soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) placed an American flag on every grave in Arlington National Cemetery, as part of the annual Memorial Day weekend tradition of “Flags In.”
Those flags have since been removed, but what they stand for — remembering the sacrifices of our military service members — never fades away.
ARLnow.com captured this year’s Flags In in a brief video, above.
