Thanks to all our neighbors who have been faithful in flying our country’s flag. Your action in showing your patriotism in this way, especially in these trying times, has really set a good example and has been an inspiration to us all.
We all need to be aware of proper etiquette when displaying our flag, and a couple of variances seem to be reoccurring which need correcting.
1. Faded or tattered flags should not be displayed, and should be replaced with new flags. Such flags should be retired and properly disposed of by burning in an appropriate ceremony. The Boy Scouts will be glad to handle this for you. Please contact Troop 5 at Christ Church United Methodist or Troop 254 at Briarwood Presbyterian Church.
2. Flags should not be displayed after dusk unless properly illuminated. It is
O. K. to display flags for 24 hours if properly illuminated at night, otherwise they should be taken down daily at dusk.
Thank you, and God bless America
