About this Exploration:

Every Memorial Day the local VFW puts out American flags at Graceland Cemetery on poles placed years ago by veteran’s families to honor their men and women from Meade who fought for our country.
 
The heart of any patriotic American will swell at the sight of these flags lovingly hoisted by veterans old and young in honor of their comrades in arms. Our prevalent winds continually wave the flags creating a magnificent spectacle of red, white and blue as a rag-tag group of veterans from WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Iraq and Afghanistan, dawn their uniforms to march in formation and fire a salute to our fallen.
 
Patriotism is indeed alive and well in the heartland.
