Memorial Day at Arlington Cemetery

Arlington Cemetery Memorial Day Veterans

Mike Lefcheck (right), a Marine veteran from Michigan and head of the 40&8 Voiture 1153, comes to Arlington Cemetery every year to give away American flags on Memorial Day. He hoped that this year, he and his fellow 40&8 members would be able to hand out more than the 10,000 flags they passed out last Memorial Day.

    Wow, these are nice pictures. It is so nice to remember that there is a reason behind the holiday–not just a free day off from work.

    So true. Even in DC it’s easy to forget what some of our national holidays are REALLY about.
