An Indiana man and Iraq combat veteran has turned his yard into a sea of American flags, to remember those lost in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts.

With the help of volunteers, Frank Medlen Jr. has placed over 6,800 flags on his property.

Medlen told WAWV that the ground and the patriotic display belong to those soldiers who sacrificed their lives in recent Middle Eastern conflicts. Some of the flags have the names of fallen soldiers written on them. He encouraged those in the area to visit the display.

The flags will be on display until Sunday.
