His father was killed in combat. The boy is being given the flag that was draped over his father’s casket. That has to be one of the strongest kids I’ve ever seen.
I’m pretty sure that his father died in war and when this happens a flag gets put over your casket at the funeral. This was probably the flag on the dad’s casket.
When someone dies in the army they get a ‘flag’. Obviously the flag is given to their kin. This picture is just touching because you can see how hard the kid is trying not to cry.
