On Memorial Day weekend in 2014, Tom Churchill gives a salute after placing a flag salute after placing a flag at a veteran’s grave at Chesed Shel Emeth cemetery. Each year, the Boy Scouts partner with Jewish War Veterans’ local post to distribute flags at the graves of all veterans at local Jewish cemeteries. That year, scouts placed flags at more than 6,000 graves at seven local Jewish cemeteries. Photo: Lisa Mandel
