I made out again this year.

On the way I cut through downtown early in the am. At my intersection there was a transit bus that pulled out into the lane as I was prepping the right turn. So I downshifted and turned in front of him.

Next thing I see is the cop car with lights behind me.

Long story short, the officer sees my 30 flags, asked me what I was doing. Told him about putting flags out on Memorial Day and he let me go on my way.

Good karma!

It was good to take a moment and pay respects.

Great Idea I'll be out at the WWII memorial tomorrow

Great idea... we just lost our great Grandpa (mother side) he was a French commando, with more metal in his body than bone... used to freak me out sticking magnets on his head! LOL.

I attend the ceremonys each year at the graves. My grandfather is a WWII vet but is dead now (died in the late 1970's) also my grandmothers brothers and brother in laws have fought in Germany and one got killed by a sniper over their.

That seems like a great idea-- if you weren't in Florida I'd join you. Anyone in Boulder?

It is really just as easy as one person and one flag. For me the day is well spent by just showing up. I wish it was a national standard but it has to start somewhere.

I believe the guys on this board are the best starting point you could ask for. One flag bro.

OP - I like your style.

Thank you sir. I posted on this site because I know I am not the only one who gives a shit. It would so kick ass to pull into a cemetary and see another E30 doing the same thing.

May 26th is Memorial Day and I imagine most of us with be off. I throw this request out there for anyone who has time and a few dollars.

This is what I have been doing and it is something I wish could happen on a national level.

Go to the local Target or dollar store or flea market and pick up a few of the small american flags. Next go to ANY cemetery, park and just walk around until you find the tombstone of a veteran. Place the flag one footstep away from the stone at the head of the grave.

This whole thing probably takes an hour from your day and a few less dollars from the mod sheet. It gives back more than you can imagine.

I found a WWI vet and a new grave of a 19 yo Marine. Neither one had a flag. I bet the parents of the Marine probably couldn't go there yet.

Some cemetaries will give you the flags.

All I am asking is for you guys to consider it. If you have a political viewpoint and don't want to be a a part of this, thats kool. I ask you please don't hate on this post

A+

You are a good man.
