Memorial Day

So, today is Memorial Day and we drove by Fort Snelling National Cemetary. We thought it was strange that there weren't flags on all of the graves. I mean, it's a national military cemetary. You would think that there would be flags on the graves for a national military-honoring holiday.

My husband and I talked about why that would happen. No volunteers to place the flags (in years past local Boy Scouts had placed them)? No money to buy the flags? No donations to purchase flags? Is this one of those things that the state budget doesn't allow for? The national budget? I mean, come on, why aren't there flags at the cemetary for Memorial Day? It bugs me.
