RETIRING AMERICAN FLAGS Under rainy skies, members of Boy Scout Troop Pack 403 learned the proper way to dispose of worn American flags. The public was invited to view the process. Jim Barstow of the Veterans Service Office said he hopes to perform this ceremony on a regular basis to teach the public about proper flag disposal, and also to teach the youth in our county to respect the flag. After each flag undergoes a preparation process, it is then separated by its colors. First, the red stripes are burned, which signifies the blood shed by many Americans who defended her. Second, the white stripes are burned, which signifies the tears of the many Americans who have lost sons and daughters. Last, the blue field of stars is burned, which signifies God’s heaven. One veteran who attended the ceremony as a member of the Honor Guard was George Leach, a World War Two Veteran. “I have never seen this done before,” he said. “I’ve heard about it being done, but I’ve never actually seen it done. It’s interesting.” BEACON PHOTO BY BETH SCOTT
