Army soldiers place Memorial Day flags in Arlington National Cemetery
The Old Guard placed about 260,000 flags at the gravestones of service members and their families at Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day.

Apart from backyard barbecues, road trips, lake trips and the plethora of other activities on many people’s day off work, some restaurants are offering deals and specials to observe the holiday. Unless noted, these deals are available for Monday only.
