Memorial Day in My Small Town...Well the Sunday before Memorial Day

So the American Legion and friends and families all get together and post flags for Memorial day in the local cemetery. It's quite a site to see. And on a bright clear day like today the hills outside of Oxford Iowa look amazing.

While not many of the flags go in strict formation or in perfect rows, like some cemetaries, the folks do an amazing job at making sure each veteran is honored.

In fact the American Legion fellas are moving in to the 21st century using GPS technology to locate and record the grave site of each veteran.  See this article from the Cedar Rapids Gazette.
