'It's what we do': Murrells Inlet neighborhood places 1,500 flags ahead of Veterans Day

Every year, volunteers place 1,500 flags throughout their neighborhood to honor veterans.

The tradition started in 2002, when a group of neighbors decided to place 100 flags in their yards. The following year, they placed 200 flags, and the number has grown each year since.

The flags are placed on the Saturday before Veterans Day. Volunteers work together to place the flags, and they often have to work around obstacles like trees and power lines.
