People across the country and in Massachusetts are honoring our nation's fallen heroes. 

More than 37,000 American flags are flying on the Boston Common.

The flags, which were put up by the Massachusetts Military Hero Fund, honor Massachusetts service members who have died in combat since the Revolutionary War. 

Organizers are now asking local volunteers to come out and help remove the flags.
