Since his wife, Linda, passed away in 2010, Lt. Col.
Laurence K. Burgess has returned each year the Saturday
before the Marine Corps' birthday to place Marine Corps
flags in Arlington National Cemetery. Since the first year,
he's gone from placing a handful of flags at his wife's
graveside by himself, to placing 1,000 flags at the
gravesides of Marines and their families throughout section
60 with a dozen volunteers on November 8, 2014.
