On the Road: Planting flags for fallen soldiers

As part of our continuing series “On the Road,” Steve Hartman meets with Larry Eckhardt - a man who travels hundreds of miles to honor fallen soldiers with hundreds of flags.
Comments below the video:
“An incredible man. The heartache those families feel must be wrapped in warmth seeing the hero’s welcome Larry creates & inspires other people to create for them. What a difference he makes during an unforgettable moment in a family’s life, bring light to their dark times.”
Thank you for bringing Larry Eckhardt’s flag work to the thread. Sadly, Larry passed away in 2020; thyroid cancer.
Before late 2016, my wife and I lived on a small farm just 6 miles from Little York, IL; where Larry lived. Everybody knew Larry and his work in that corner of the state.
