At around 8 a.m., personnel put out the flags, donated by families of veterans in memory of their loved ones, along the roadway.
Joseph Perez looked at the Veterans Memorial Cemetery with some awe. “Just to be here among my peers, basically. I’m retired military too,” he said.
“Eventually, we all end up here,” Perez said. “It’s a good thing to show that people still care – for the veterans who served and died for our country.” “It’s an honor to support our troops and our veterans,” Bothell said. “To be able to have the honor still, even with the face mask and the pandemic and everything, it’s been quite amazing.”
