SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts from all over San Diego County honored our local veterans laid to rest at Greenwood Memorial Park on Saturday.
They placed American flags at the gravesite of every fallen veteran at the cemetery.
The event is done all over the country to teach the scouts about patriotism and community service. Also, teaching them about those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Since not all of the people laid to rest at Greenwood are veterans, the kids had to look at each gravesite before putting down their flags.
The veterans remembered today were from different wars including WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
