On Saturday, James' Boy Scout troop participated in the Flag Placement at the Marietta National Cemetery. It's an annual event held on the Saturday before Memorial Day where flags are placed at the soldiers' tombstones. This was James' 4th or 5th time participating in the event. I had never attended, so I decided to join them this year.
After placing a flag, the scout is supposed to salute. Some scouts even say a few words.
My husband - oh, how I love a man in uniform!!
It's pretty impressive seeing all the white tombstones with an American flag by each one. Unfortunately the camera battery died and I wasn't able to play around with other shots of the whole cemetery.
