   My great uncle Harry I Harris who was killed in the Fort Adams explosion was the first person buried in the Jewish section. I want to be sure that the American flag flies at the appropiate times.

   Private Harris is honored each Memorial Day by having a flag placed on his gravesite. He is not forgotten.
