The Robert Boyd Steward American Legion Post 11 will conduct a flag retirement ceremony for American Flags on Tuesday at the Lovell Veterans Park.
Program leader Jim Thomas said the program will help educate citizens on how to retire the flag properly while also giving those attending information on the history of the flag.
“There is not a set procedure, but it is to be done with dignity and respect, and to be properly done the flag should be burned and the ashes buried,” Thomas said. “We developed a program that gives us the opportunity to do that with dignity.”
