As flags become tattered and torn and begin to fade, they are to be replaced with new flags. Flags should never be thrown away but are collected for this official retirement ceremony. Old flags may be given to any legion member or dropped off in a drop-box located in the vestibule at the Preston Public Library.

Thank you to the Legion Members for this solemn and education ceremony on proper flag etiquette.
