Honoring Veterans with Flags – Veterans Memorial Cemetery

On Friday, May 16, 2025, American Legion Lt. J. Allison O'Daniel Post #10 proudly facilitated a meaningful community service effort at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Bear, Delaware. Volunteers gathered to place approximately 17,000 American flags at the gravesites of those who served in preparation for Memorial Day.

This photo, which I took of my friend during the event, captures the quiet dignity and heartfelt respect of the day. We remember and honor those who gave everything.
