Do you have an American Flag that is torn or faded? If so, it is time to retire it.
“The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem or display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” The United States Flag Code. St. Andrew Trail Life Troop VA-717 collects American Flags ready to retire year round, and has placed a blue bin in the church vestibule for parishioners to drop-off their flags.

The Troop has scheduled a Flag Retirement Ceremony on Veterans Day, which is Thursday, November 11th at 6:30pm at the St. Andrew’s picnic area. All are welcome to attend, especially active military and retired veterans.
