University of Phoenix this week planted more than 10,000 flags in its annual tradition of honoring Memorial Day.
This marks the 15th year employees and volunteers of the university have undertaken the endeavor.
This year's ceremony featured a Color Guard presentation and a keynote speech from Frank Lambert, a West Point graduate who served in Vietnam. Lambert received the Silver Star, the Solider's Medal, three Bronze Stars and two Purple Hearts.
The flags were to be collected Friday and distributed to local military cemetaries ahead of Memorial Day.
