We Remember 2019

Now that my son is in Boy Scouts, he still does the annual We Remember flag placement at the Baltimore National Cemetery. We were in a different section than in previous years. The troop was assigned an area in the back of the cemetery. We drove in and parked by the meet-up spot.

The cemetery without flags

We didn't have long to wait before the organizers handed out flags and gave the standard instructions--place the flags about a foot in front of the side of the headstone with the name. Be respectful and be sure to get every headstone.

Placing the flag one foot away from the headstone

A solo act

We brought the prescholar along with us and he helped out quite a bit.

I am always amazed how fast the whole cemetery is filled with flags. In less than twenty minutes, the job was done.

A job well done

Thanks this Memorial Day to everyone who has served our country in the armed forces. I appreciate the sacrifice.
