American Legion Post 16 in Shelton slates flag retirement ceremony

When the United States flag (Old Glory) becomes worn, torn, faded, or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new flag, and the old flag should be "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting our nation's flag. 
The traditional method of retirement is to incinerate the flag.

Persons having flags to be retired may drop them off at the American Legion, 295 Old Bridgeport Ave., Shelton. 
A metal red, white, and blue flag deposit box is located at the front porch of the post.
