This article highlights a ceremonial tradition among members of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, also known as the ‘Old Guard,’ as they prepare veterans’ cemeteries for Memorial Day. In a ritual called ‘Flags In,’ soldiers place American flags in front of every headstone and columbarium column at Arlington National Cemetery and the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery. This ceremony is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by fallen service members.
While the article focuses on the emotional impact of the tradition, there is no mention of any potential oversights or accountability measures related to War Is Still A Racket.
