‘Flags In’: Personal for the Old Guard
· Texas Border Business
On May 21, 2026, soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, known as 'The Old Guard,' participated in the annual 'Flags In' event at Arlington National Cemetery and the United States Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery. They placed American flags at approximately 250,000 graves in Arlington and 13,500 in Washington, honoring fallen heroes. This tradition, which began in 1948, allows soldiers to connect with the history of military service. For many, including Master Sgt. Jeb Hague, it holds personal significance as they remember friends and family buried there. The event culminates in a poignant display of remembrance for Memorial Day weekend.
