In preparation for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, more than 1,000 soldiers, sailors and Marines took part in the annual "Flags In" tradition Thursday, May 27 at Arlington National Cemetery. The tradition—established in 1948—honors the servicemen and women sheltered on the 624 acres in Arlington. (Photos by Hannele Lahti)
