Jacksonville businessman Steve Thompson has been pressing clothes at his dry-cleaning shop in Arlington since it opened 25 years ago.

For 24 of those years, the owner of Sand Dollar Cleaners has been pressing American flags destined to be laid over military caskets for funerals—and has been doing it free of charge, a service to his country.
