An honor

Etters, PA

In 2014 I volunteered to place flags in the national cemetery in Bushnell, Fla. Once in the cemetery I was given 10 flags and instructions to place the flag in the ground 6 inches from the tombstone. Step back and thank the person's name on the stone for their service. It gave me such a rewarding feeling to be honoring these fallen heroes that Memorial Day. Once all the flags were up throughout the cemetery, I stood and cried.
