Staff Sgt. Victor, firing party commander, Charlie Company, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), untangles a bunch of American flags in front of fallen veteran's grave stones in Arlington National Cemetery, Va., May 24. This tradition, known as "flags in," has been conducted annually since The Old Guard was designated as the Army's official ceremonial unit in 1948. Every available soldier in the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment participates, placing small American flags one foot in front and centered before each grave marker. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. Luisito Brooks)
