In observance of Memorial Day, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries.
Do you know of any local organization/efforts to place flags at each veterans' grave sites? **SHARE THE INFORMATION FOR OTHERS**
I know Arlington National Cemetery's 'Flags In" is conducted by the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and I volunteered in last year's flags in at Fort Bliss. Any where else?

Did this every year with my Marine Corp Mother! But never at the National Cemetery.
Now I do it for her at our local Veterans Cemetery, where she waits for her battle buddy.

I haven't heard of anything in my area yet, but I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders in Tucson and I'm sure they have something planned.

Just about every community in my area places flags on veterans graves. Our local American Legion post takes care of at least two communities.

Could you be more specific on your area and volunteer opportunities for others to take part in, SFC Robert Wheeler?
