YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEvery year before Memorial Day, around 1,000 soldiers fan out across Arlington National Cemetery. Each soldier from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) carries hundreds of small flags with them, each flag representing something much bigger - honoring the legacy of our fallen heroes, veterans and their families.
It took only a few hours on Thursday for 900 members of The Old Guard to place flags in front of 228,000 headstones and at the bottom of about 7,000 niche rows in the cemetery's Columbarium Courts and the Niche Wall.
