Memorial Day flowers, wreaths and flags were removed in less than one week from the graves at Fort McPherson National Cemetery, much to the dismay of many people who placed them there.

The flowers could be placed at the graves on Friday, May 23, said Bonnie Johnson of North Platte, ahead of Memorial Day on Monday, May 26.
