A respectful farewell

On Sunday, May 5, the American Legion Post THB #187 held a flag-burning ceremony to retired flags that have become tattered and torn or have otherwise outlived their service. It is known as a respectful way to dispose of old flags rather than toss them in the garbage. If you have a tattered flag that should be retired in a future ceremony, please advise the Elmhurst American Legion.
