    Do we take our damaged flag to the American Legion Post before Friday or take it to the ceremony on Friday?
    Is there any other way to dispose of our flag?

      Tom Sullivan, American Legion Post 321, responds: “We have sufficient unserviceable flags for our ceremony this Friday. However, there is a flag box on the south side of the post at 107 N. Main St. where unserviceable American flags may be placed. They will be properly disposed of at future American Legion Post occasions.”
