Flag Disposal
Citizens have asked what they should do with their American flags when the flags are no longer fit for display. According to the American Legion web site at www.legion.org/ The Flag Code suggests that, "when a flag has served its useful purpose, it should be destroyed, preferably by burning." For individual citizens, this should be done discreetly so the act of destruction is not perceived as a protest or desecration. Many American Legion Posts will accept unserviceable American flags from residents. These flags will then be destroyed during a proper Flag Ceremony. This ceremony creates a particularly dignified and solemn occasion for the retirement of unserviceable flags. Local residents may drop off old and worn out flags to the American Legion Post located in Brecksville at 7400 Chippewa Road, (behind the Brecksville Shopping Center). Return to Reference Area
