Boy Scout and Cub Scout Troop 347 conducted a flag retirement ceremony on Flag Day (June 14) at the Alexandria Senior Citizens Center. Each year on June 14 people across the United States celebrate Flag Day to honor the United States flag and to commemorate the flag’s adoption. When “Old Glory” becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it should be retired with dignity and respect and replaced with a new flag.
After leading the group of seniors in the Pledge of Allegiance, the Scouts retired the Star-Spangled Banner in a special vigil. They talked about the flag’s significance as the symbol in our nation’s history.
