ARLINGTON -- Over the last few months, a Chesapeake father has made an emotional journey across the country, trying to gain support to make the "Honor and Remember Flag" a national symbol.
George Lutz began his campaign in Chesapeake on June 7 and finished Thursday, Veterans Day, at Arlington National Cemetery.
Lutz and an army of volunteers placed 6,000 of his flags on graves.
He created the flag in honor of his son Tony, who was killed fighting the war on terror in Iraq almost five years ago.
While he's grateful for days like Veterans Day, Lutz wanted to do more.
"Those days to me weren't enough because I remember every day. And the sacrifices that have been made by this country are felt by the families every day," he said.
Lutz has visited all 50 states, meeting lawmakers with hopes of getting states to adopt the new flag.
His work has paid off, too. Virginia, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania have officially adopted the flag on the state level.
