Memorial Day flag pilgrimage by Washington Scouts
Soldiers and Boy Scouts from Washington and vicinity plan an annual Arlington National Cemetery flag placement to honor every grave. From unknown soldier marble sarcophagus to government supplied headstones, none will be overlooked on Memorial Day. Memorial Day began in 1868 by John A Logan to decorate Civil War graves and now honors veterans of later wars as a legal holiday in most states, with Confederate Memorial Day observed in several Southern states on separate dates.
