Years and years ago, my wife and I while out walking stumbled upon a long unattended tiny graveyard with around 20 graves and we noticed there were several from WW2...On today’s ride I stopped at a small cemetery in Cathey’s Valley as I usually do. It’s a very small cemetery and not a vets only cemetery. However, I counted 43 American flags attached to that many grave sites. One had blown over so I replanted it. Didn’t have any idea there were that many veterans in this one tiny cemetery in this one tiny community.
Imagine a year when we could (celebrate) Veteran’s Day day by having no soldiers lost since the last Veterans Day.

I reported this to the municipality and they dispatched people to go out and get it sorted out....my wife and I went to the same graveyard a few months later and noted they cleaned it right up and identified it with markers so others would find it.
One thing I will say is for the most part Americans are very patriotic and respectful of their fallen-more than many other nations (including mine).
In these days in Canada, we have a very robust support system for our veterans and serving soldiers....In my experience the guvment seems to treat the dead better than they do those soldiers who survived war zone duty.
