BOSTON — More than 37,000 American flags were placed on Boston Common ahead of Memorial Day weekend in honor of fallen service members who called Massachusetts home.
The Massachusetts Military Heroes Fund and Home Base teamed up to plant the annual display at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument.
The flags have been planted every year since 2010 in memory and honor of every man and woman who gave his or her life defending America since the Revolutionary War.
The display will remain up for public viewing through 5:30 p.m. on Monday.
