Saluting the troops in Niles, Illinois

There are hundreds of United States flags on the lawn of Notre Dame College Prepatory High School in Niles, Illinois, this photograph captures only a few.

The school does this every year--God bless them.

Tonight at 6pm there will be a veterans mass at Notre Dame, followed by a musical salute to the men and women who've served our great country.
