P.W.
(from left), Leona Thomas, and Mike O’Donnell retire the colors after a flag retirement ceremony at the
Bradner Legion Friday night, in which torn and damaged American flags are honorably disposed. The ceremony
was presented by American Legion Post 338 on Friday, which was Flag Day. The annual event has been held
every Flag Day for at least 30 years. The legion is one of the few organizations that do the flag
retirements on a regular basis. (Photos: Shane Hughes/Sentinel-Tribune) SEE

Stahl sets an American flag ablaze during a flag retirement ceremony in Bradner. During a proper flag
retirement, the flag is suspended on a metal bar to prevent it from being dirtied by the
barrel.
