“During last year’s Memorial Day ceremony, it was raining very heavily. This was especially poignant as Memorial Day recognizes those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country,” says hobbyist photographer Patricia Dolan. “During the flag folding ceremony, I saw an opportunity to capture the beauty and significance of this event by focusing on the hands folding the flag. Each fold of the flag has significance during this ceremony. The flag folding ceremony reminds us all of the rights, privileges and freedoms we enjoy today.”
