GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — As we approach Memorial Day weekend, hundreds of Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and their families paid tribute to late veterans on Wednesday evening.
Some 5,300 people — veterans and their spouses — are buried at the cemetery on the grounds of the Grand Rapids Home for Veterans. The scouts and families placed an American flag at each one of their tombstones.
For some families, it’s a tradition to serve the red, white and blue, which makes it even more of an honor to take part in the ceremony.
