Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) receive bundles of American flags May 21,
2015, during Flags In at Arlington National Cemetery, Va. “Flags In” is an annual event in which over 1,000 Soldiers from The Old Guard place flags at some 228,000 headstones in the cemetery. Flags In has been a tradition for the past 60 years. Soldiers from The Old Guard honor America’s fallen heroes by placing American flags at gravesites for service members buried at both Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery just prior to the Memorial Day weekend. In 2015, The Old Guard provided ceremonial support to nearly 3,000 funerals in
Arlington National Cemetery, including some 700 full honors ceremonies. (U.S. Army Photo by Spc. Steven Hitchcock/Released)
