Anger is one of the best motivational aspects of life. If you are so angered by this lack of caring, then please take the steps to correct it.
Make the phone calls needed to prevent this from happing again.
Contact the "people" mentioned here. Ask your employer if they would buy the Flags needed. Local Civic Centers, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, Lions and Elks Clubs are also good places to start.
Set up collection cans, in various areas. The propose to collect funds needed to buy flags. Get your local newspapers involved, at least have them run a short article or publish a photo when the group puts the Flags on the graves.
Make sure you ask for assistance well in advance so the word will get out!
