On this weekend, Arlington National Cemetery, more than any other place, embodies the reverence and love that we, the living, hold for our fallen. On Thursday afternoon, the 3rd United States Infantry Regiment—better known as The Old Guard — placed these flags throughout the cemetery. Old Guard soldiers conduct roving patrols throughout the weekend to replace flags shifted, damaged, or removed by weather or visitors. "I was explaining what The Old Guard does and he was looking out the window at all those headstones," Dailey said. This text has been adapted from the best-selling book, "Sacred Duty: A Soldier’s Tour at Arlington National Cemetery."
