U.S. Army Soldiers with the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, 4th Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) conduct “Flags In” at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, Va., May 23, 2024. This tradition, known as "Flags In," has occurred annually since the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment was designated as the Army's official ceremonial unit in 1948. Every available soldier in the Old Guard participates, along with members of other service branches. They place small American flags in front of more than 260,000 headstones and at the bottom of about columbarium 7,000 niche rows. Each flag is inserted into the ground, precisely one boot length from the headstone's base. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. Ethan Scofield)
