~Memorial Day~D-Day - Lady Cop - 05-26-2011 observances begin today with Flags-in ~ The soldiers of the 3rd U.S. Infantry (The Old Guard) will be placing flags before each of the gravestones and niches in Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Soldier's and Airmen's Home National Cemetery. Every available soldier in the unit will participate, placing the small flags one foot in front of each of the more than 280,000 gravestones and niches of service members laid to rest in the two cemeteries. The event is known as "flags-in" and it has been observed before Memorial Day weekend each year since 1948. The 3rd Infantry soldiers will remain in the cemeteries throughout the weekend to be sure the flags are undisturbed.
