With Memorial Day approaching we all live near a cemetery or two where there are graves of veterans, and many of them don’t get the attention they deserve. An inexpensive project you can do is purchase some 4-6 inch flags on sticks or look online at www.united-states-flag.com or call 1-877-734-2458. These flags are made in the USA and cost as low as 15 cents each. Take along a pair of clippers and trim around the headstone. Take the kids or grandkids along and teach them about honoring veterans.
