A massive flag memorial dedicated to tens of thousands of Americans who lost their lives in war has returned.

A display of 70,000 flags – one for every American soldier killed in the Vietnam War and the conflicts in the Middle East – was set up by volunteers at Falls Township Community Park on Friday.
