DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — In honor of Memorial Day, one man is making it his mission to remember those who died protecting the United States.
Scott Wheeler is a veteran who lives in Delray Beach. He served in the United States Air Force and still serves today but in a different capacity. Each year he goes to more than 400 homes and plants a flag in the yard.
“We have so many people taking time out of their lives to fight for our freedom, it's really important that I try to remember them on Memorial Day,” he said. “I hope everybody thinks about their family members who were in the military—mother, father, brother—for a minute just think about them on Memorial Day.”
Scott has been putting American flags in the yards of homes in the Tropical Isle neighborhood for the past decade.
