Retiring flags in Fayetteville

The flag retirement box outside the ”Log Cabin” in Fayetteville had been the collection point for old and worn out American flags for 10 years, but was looking a little old and worn out itself.

Post 105 conducts frequent flag retirement ceremonies as a patriotic service to our community. Photo/Special.
