Default Had an idea

You know how soldiers get a flag on their grave?

Don't know what made me think of this, but I thought it would be fitting if all the people who took part in medical research - like taking meds in trials - should get that sort of memorial.

There should be some tribute to that kind of bravery.

How about a flag that says "I tried for you."

Maybe you could just have "Medical Research Hero" carved on your stone. Or "Guinea Pig for a Cure". Or "Lab Rat"
