  Bakersfield High School JROTC and Troop 47 posted American flags at at the headstones of more than 5,000 veterans at Union Cemetery in observation of Memorial Day. Due to the generosity of the Fruitvale School District, patriotic students, citizens, organizations and businesses in Bakersfield, the BHS JROTC raised enough money in April to buy 3,800 new flags needed to honor all veterans at Union Cemetery. On May 24, Boy Scout Troop 47 and BHS JROTC assisted Fran Ramirez and Ginny Risner in placing the flags at the headstones of every veteran in Union Cemetery. This was the first year that all veterans in the cemetery were honored with flags. What a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to the men and women who died so that we may be free! Freedom is not free!
