U.S. Army Sgt. Alexis Gastelum from the Honor Guard Company, 4th Battalion, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) places an American flag at a headstone at the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery in Washington, May 22, 2025. As the Army’s official ceremonial unit and the oldest active-duty infantry regiment, the Old Guard is charged with placing American flags in front of more than 260,000 headstones and at the bottom of about 7,000 columbarium niche rows. Each flag is inserted into the ground, exactly one boot length from the headstone's base. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Justin Rachal)
