My daughter sang the National Anthem at a 15k race honoring Memorial Day where my wife and I attended. She and her boyfriend also visited Arlington Nat’l where my Father is. “Master Sergeant. WWII, Korea, Vietnam.” My Uncle is also buried there and the flag from his casket is draped over my garage. Correctly I might add. Where it hangs every Veterans Day, Independence Day, 9/11 and Memorial Day.

Well done.

My late pop, Freeper “Skyraider”, made sure every marker in the cemetery had a proper unstained flag this day every year. He even had a roster of name and location for every marker.

After his passing, I don’t know if anyone picked up his work.
