The annual Jesse Hill Flag Memorial opened Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon at the municipal park.

Organized by the Delaware Valley Vietnam Veterans, the memorial honors every American soldier killed in the Vietnam War and Middle East conflicts.

Volunteers braved warm temperatures Friday to plant the thousands of flags across the park’s soccer fields.
