Soldiers from the Army's Old Guard unit prepare to place a flag at each of the approximately 400,000 gravesites at Arlington National Cemetery in advance of tomorrow's observance of Memorial Day.
The cemetery is on the grounds of the former plantation of slaver and treasonous Confederate General Robert E. Lee, and was opened as a burial site for Union soldiers killed by his men.
