Legion to celebrate Veterans Day with retirement of flags

The Bay Village American Legion Post #385 will retire old, faded and torn flags prior to their monthly meeting on Friday, Nov. 11, at 6 p.m. The retirement ceremony is in keeping with proper military protocol.

The post retires between 400 and 500 flags per year. Ceremonies are conducted in June for Flag Day and in November for Veterans Day.

Residents are asked to bring their flags to the post prior to Nov. 11, place them in a grocery bag and hang them on the doorknob of the post located at 695 Cahoon Rd., just north of White Oaks Restaurant.
