Flag Tips

The American legion has issued some advice regarding flags. Saturday, June 14 is Flag Day, and everyone should check the condition of the flag they are flying, the legion says, If it is old, torn, faded or otherwise unserviceable, it should be replaced. If you do choose to replace your flag, the legion asks that you treat the old flag with respect. Do not throw it in the dump. Instead, the legion says, find an American Legion member or place it in the box beside the Legion Hall on Freestone Ave, Portland, CT, and the legion will burn it in a flag retirement ceremony.
