HONORING THE FALLEN: Hundreds of volunteers gathered at the Riverside National Cemetery to honor courage, sacrifice and duty by placing small American flags at the gravesites of fallen veterans.
"It shows that we are all Americans," said volunteer Herman Lopez of the emotional annual tradition. "We are all coming together for this common cause, outside we may have different opinions or different outlooks on things but when we're here today, it's all for this one cause and that's to pay the respects for the veterans that unfortunately, as we're here, paid the ultimate sacrifice.
He also knows the sacrifice paid by those resting at the Riverside cemetery. His son - Marine Cpl. Hunter Lopez - is among the fallen.
