American Legion Post 16 in Shelton to hold flag retirement Sunday

SHELTON - When the United States flag becomes worn, torn, faded, or badly soiled, it is time to replace it. The old flag should be "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting the nation's flag. 
The traditional method of retirement is incineration.
Residents who have flags to be retired may drop them off at Sutter-Terlizzi, American Legion Post 16, 295 Old Bridgeport Ave. 

A metal red, white, and blue flag deposit box is located at the front porch of the post.

American Legion Post 16 will hold a flag retirement ceremony at 1:30 p.m. Sunday.
Post members as well as area Boy and Girl Scouts will take part in the ceremony. Scouts from each unit will be part of the flag retirement detail as well as two Girl Scouts reading the poem “I am the Flag” and a Boy Scout leading the group in the Pledge of Allegiance.

The public is invited to attend the ceremony. Scout groups are encouraged to attend in uniform with their unit colors. Scouts wishing to take part in the ceremony are requested to arrive 15 minutes early.
