"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning" (US Flag Code. TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > Sec. 8(k))
On July 9th, 2014, at 1.00p.m., the American Legion Doughboy Memorial Post #138 will perform a formal flag retirement ceremony on the back patio and lawn at Bridgeport Place: A Senior Living Community. 5250 Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA.
Join us. On a personal note as a scouting-mom retiring a US flag is quite a moving event, have you experienced one? For more information contact Maringi Lloyd (253) 565-1960.
