FAIR OAKS, Calif. (CBS, KYMA/KECY) - Memorial Day Remembrance flags placed at Mount Vernon Memorial Park in Fair Oaks Monday.

Flags were placed around the cemetery ahead of the ceremony later in the morning. Memorial Day is a time to pay tribute to the heroes who have selflessly defended our freedom.
