Over 260,000 American flags were recently placed at each headstone in Arlington National Cemetery by #OldGuard, continuing their revered tradition. These flags represent stories of courage and sacrifice, reminding us of the true meaning of Memorial Day. #HonorTheFallen.

Today we commemorated the 102nd anniversary of the departure of the USS Olympia from Le Havre, France. This historic voyage marked a pivotal moment in history when the vessel embarked on a mission to transport the American Unknown Soldier of World War I home to American soil.
