    Some people just need a kick to the head

    QFT!

    We don't have bronze holders.
    We just use a "poker" to poke a hole, then insert the flag into hole.
    The "poker" is just a metal rod, with a handle. Some of them have added a rod at the bottom for a foot.
    If you use a "poker" for 8 hours, your hand can hurt pretty bad the next day. The rod for the foot really helps.

    In the old part of the cemetery I often have to clear a grave marker to see if it is a veteran because it's overgrown.
    That slows me down. I usually can put down 80 flags in an hour in the old sections.
    The new sections have raised markers, and they haven't sunken. I can usually put in 100-120 per hour there.
    I spent 2 or 3 hours yesterday at one cemetery.
    I spent 3 hours this morning, and 2 hours in the evening at another.
    I was lucky this year and had pretty good help.
    I've done it before, 8 am to 8 pm.

    I'm glad we have people like you, Act. I asked about putting the flags out and was told they had enough help.

    Figured I'd put this here, since the OD just turned over to 3600 posts
