Pleasantly surprised
I was headed into the Massachusetts National Cemetary to pay my respects and visit a family member. I made the turn off the rotary and the main road was packed with cars. There was not a spot open entering. I figured there must be some type of event at the base. When I finally got to the gate and saw a few people walking by I stopped to ask what was going on. I was shocked to learn that every person was there to help make sure every grave had a flag on it. Truly touching to see that many people that passionate to be out there walking those distances in the rain to make it all happen.
