American Legion Post 45 -----Watch Fire ( Retiring of the Flag )

The Watch Fire -As a revered symbol of freedom and justice, the flag of the United States of America needs to be treated with the utmost respect. This respect extends to the flag's eventual retirement and destruction. The United States Flag Code (4 USC Sec 8 Para (k) Amended 7 July 1976) states: "The Flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." There are steps to dispose of a worn or damaged flag with the respect it deserves. If you have never seen to one now is the time to come.....All ages welcomed...

   Food will be served from 12-2 watch fire will start promptly at 2 p.m.
