Remembrance Flags at the Bocage Tournament

I saw these moving Remembrance Flags at the Bocage tournament in Baton Rouge last week. Keith Richardson, one of the top national players in the 70 and over division, puts these flags up at each tournament he plays. He explains their meaning below:

Below are a few more pics of the many flags that were there. I imagine that in another few years there will be even more remembrance flags with names at different tournament sites around the country. Thank you, Keith, for this wondrous idea and for carrying it out as well.
