So science trumps needless, foolish, exposure. But hey, you going to drive around and look for a crowd to mix with on Memorial day?
About 5,000 scouts gather at the Jefferson Barracks to place flags on about 150,000 graves. They place about 7,000 flags on graves of veterans at Jewish cemeteries.

A spokesman for the National Cemetery Administration said the group will make an announcement next week regarding public ceremonies at the 142 national cemeteries.
"The National Cemetery Administration is continually monitoring guidance from the CDC and state and local officials to inform its decision on Memorial Day activities," said a statement from their website. 'Regardless of whether a cemetery holds a public ceremony, VA national cemeteries will observe Memorial Day in some fashion."
