In observance of Memorial Day at Arlington, a flag is placed in front of each gravesite.
I spent most of the morning pretty misty. It was both humbling and overwhelming to see a representation of the number of lives spent in service to our country.
In addition to the flags, Veterans groups, support groups, and florists band together to give each guest two roses to lay at a headstone as they walk through the cemetery.
