LAKE WORTH, Fla. -- Honoring fallen heroes was the goal of an event held in Lake Worth on Sunday.
Volunteers placed American flags on the graves at the South Florida National Cemetery.
Veterans were invited to attend the flag planting and said the event truly honors our fallen heroes who fought to keep us all safe.
Veteran Phil Dixon said, "I pretty much kept quiet about being in the service and it was heartbreaking for me. Now it's really nice to see what's going on."
A special Memorial Day service will be held on Monday at the cemetery starting at 10 a.m.
