        Where in California? I’m pretty sure most cemetery’s have kind people that do the same.

        They do. My dad gets one every year. He’s buried in Michigan. But kudos to the kid. Maybe the particular cemetery he went to did not.

        Nope! We here in California put flags on graves several memorial days for years with my son in Boy Scouts. No disrespect to the kid but don’t get why this gets presidential recognition.

        Maybe because instead of the Boy Scouts doing it as part of their program. he took time out of his day to do it himself, not told to by the scout leader (my guess anyways)

        I would think so...the American Legion and VFW do it around here. The article that popped up when I googled the kids name only said he had seen a grave without one and he has since gotten 40,000 graves a flag.Number seems way to high to me but it's in CA too far for me to go look

        Why the Govt is not doing this in the first place? Why does it take a 12 year old to show you up?
