This flag is one of 5,000 placed by Michigan resident Dawn Kramer at the Southern Nevada Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Boulder City to celebrate Veterans Day on Nov. 11. Kramer’s father is buried at the cemetery and she started placing flags there on Veterans Day in 2019 when she visited and noticed there weren’t any.
