WASHINGTON — A serene moment unfolded at Arlington National Cemetery on Thursday as several deer were seen wandering among thousands of American flags placed at gravesites ahead of Memorial Day.

The flags, placed by soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), honor fallen service members in a longstanding tradition of remembrance. In a quiet scene captured by Army photographers, one deer after another walked gently between the rows of headstones — some alone, others in pairs — surrounded by fluttering flags and blooming trees.

The powerful image of wildlife amid solemn memorials served as a poignant reminder of the peace so many gave their lives to protect.
