Local American Legion Post No. 312 conducted a flag disposal ceremony for unserviceable flags on Wednesday which was also Flag Day. According to Post Commander Jeanette Jackson, the Flag Code suggests that when a flag has served its useful purpose, it should be retired and destroyed, preferably by burning. American Legion members disassembled a ceremonial flag starting with the blue field and then stripe by stripe and following a brief ceremony burned it, along with other unserviceable flags that had been dropped off at the post for proper disposal.Photo by Emily Banks Wooten
