With its "Trail Of Honor" - a line of flags stretching along the route into the national cemtery in Fort Gibson, Okla.

According to Post Commander Tim Smith, "We started the project in 2011 in order to honor veterans and their families as they drive to see their loved one's final resting place."

The flags are displayed on major holidays along a 2-mile drive from the highway to the Fort Gibson National Cemetery. They are displayed 24-feet apart and most flag masts are 8-foot wood, but the post is transitioning to 10-foot metal poles with 3-by-5 flags. Smith said the flags give the appearance of a parade drive, and many locals drive the route several times wheny they are displayed "to see the beauty of so many (U.S. flags)."

"Our post raised over $17,000 in 2011 to buy all the flags and other needed items. We dug and buried over 650 concrete bases in the ground but currently only have 550 flags to display. Our major initiative now is improving all bases by pouring concrete bases and buying all new 10-foot metal poles and adding at least 50-100 more flags. We have the support of two local Boy Scout troops and many local businesses."
