For the second year, about 100 teenagers and children from Fayetteville North Carolina Stake, bleary-eyed and bundled up, gathered on a chilly Saturday morning at the Sandhills State Veterans Cemetery just outside Fort Bragg. They came to honor fallen heroes by placing flags on every grave for Veteran's Day, a way to honor the living as well as the dead.
