Department of Veteran’s Affairs Bans Boy Scouts From Placing Flags At Graves On Memorial Day

The following article, Department of Veteran’s Affairs Bans Boy Scouts From Placing Flags At Graves On Memorial Day, was first published on Flag And Cross.

Many heads of cities, states, and federal government agencies have taken “social distancing” to a level nobody could’ve ever imagined – at least not in America.
