Golden Gate National Cemetery San Bruno California 090523-170351 C4

Captured this image at the Golden Gate National Cemetery in San Bruno California - just south of San Francisco - during Memorial Day 2009. The photo would look similar this Memorial Day 2015 as the weather is overcast and chilly.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the people who died while in service in the country's armed forces - observed the last Monday in May. (source: Wikipedia).

Over 100,000 flags are placed by Boy Scouts of America and other groups and individual volunteers on a designated day in advance of Memorial Day.
