Memorial Day one day late
Memorial Day one day late
If you know me at all, youll remember me talking of a memorial garden that displays any and all servicemens flags for the Memorial Day Weekend. And I told you that when BOTH of the boys were in Scouts, we would begin participating in the removal of the flags on Memorial Day. Yesterday, there were 2,379 flags flown in memory of fallen servicemen. Some dating back to WWI, others as recent as Desert Storm.
This is last years picture. They knew I was taking it.
And this is this years picture. They had no clue that I took this one until I had them printed at Wal-mart after the ceremonies.
Here they are actually folding a flag. The flags being flown for the first time are folded military style, while all others are folded laundry style. Volunteers at the garden launder, repair and store the flags for next year.Available link for download
