U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) place American flags at headstones in Arlington National Cemetery during "Flags In" at Arlington, Va., May 21, 2026. "Flags In" has been held annually since 1948, when The Old Guard was designated as the U.S. Army's official ceremonial Unit. Every available Old Guard Soldier places over 260,00 flags, each precisely one boot length from the base of headstone and columbarium niches, honoring the fallen with solemn precision.
