Every year before Memorial Day weekend, soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as “The Old Guard,” place American flags in front of every tombstone at Arlington National Cemetery. Watch as a soldier explains the meaning behind the 66-year-old tradition, which they call “Flags In.”

We express our sincerest thanks to the soldiers of “The Old Guard” for this inspiring display of respect for those who came before them, and we thank all of our nation’s veterans for the sacrifices they have made.
