" Preston Sharp was originally inspired to recognize Veterans buried at private cemeteries in his California hometown. It didn’t take long before his efforts expanded to surrounding communities, and now in as many states as possible. Sharp says that people should not only recognize Veterans on holidays, but also every day. His dedication to Veterans led to his recognition at the 2018 State of the Union address.

This week, Preston returned to Washington, D.C., where he met with Acting Secretary Robert Wilkie and Under Secretary for Memorial Affairs Randy Reeves.
Sharp, through his Flag and Flower Challenge, has been placing flags and flowers on the graves of Veterans since Veterans Day 2015. Over the last two years, he has organized the placement of more than 40,000 flags and red carnations at cemeteries"

great job Preston!
