From Atlanta’s 11 Alive News:
Marietta National Cemetery is awash in red, white and blue, thanks to the hard work of 1500 scouts from across metro Atlanta.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Cubs, and Brownies took part in a Memorial Day weekend tradition on Saturday morning by placing flags at the graves of Georgia’s fallen soldiers. Scout leaders spent the morning handing out huge bundles of flags to the scouts, who spread out throughout the cemetery to make sure every soldier was honored.
Marietta National Cemetery is the final resting place for about 10,000 fallen soldiers. Those buried at the cemetery represent every war from the American Revolution to the War in Iraq.
“I like honoring the veterans because they fought for our country,” said Life Scout Harry Barnes.
