"FLAGS IN" Honors Our Fallen Soldiers at Arlington National Cemetary When I have ever seen pictures of Arlington National Cemetary I have always been awed by the precision of the row after row of grave markers, and the understanding that each marker represents too many of our fallen heroes. On the Thursday prior to Memorial Day weekend after the final funeral of the day a flag is placed in front of each marker, more than 250,000 of them. They are all removed prior to the cemetary opening on the Tuesday after Memorial Day.
