Memorial Day Boston Common

Each year, the Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund gathers hundreds of volunteers to blanket the Boston Common in miniature American flags. The patriotic garden at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument is made up of more than 37,000 flags, each representing a Massachusetts service member who has died in action since the Revolutionary War.

From a Massachusetts Marine, absolutely beautiful stuff you did on the Common. Thank you. Living in New Hampshire now so did not see this superb Memorial display.

Thank you all for your kind comments. However, the pictures do not adequetly convey the soul touching solemnity of the real thing.
Credit goes to the Heroes Fund volunteers - and the fallen.
