so if you remember I said that no flags could be placed on the gravesites except during Memorial Day weekend, there is one exception. Audie Murphy was one of the most decorated soldiers of WWII. Every morning the park rangers would arrive and there would be a flag placed on his gravesite. They would remove it, and of course, the next morning, there would be another placed in its spot. This went on for quite a while, until the 'powers that be' decided that for this one case, they would allow a flag to be placed on this one gravesite.
In this case, perserverence paid off!
