Have you ever owned a tattered or faded American flag that needed to be respectfully retired — but you didn't know where to take it? After doing some research about how she might help area residents properly dispose of their flags, Emma began raising money to purchase two sturdy drop-boxes — safe, convenient locations where people could drop off their aging flags for later pickup and disposal.
VFW Post 97 and the American Legion, both patriotic organizations with years of experience in flag etiquette and retirement, will provide proper disposal for the American flags, which is why the drop-off boxes are being placed at these locations, Emma said. She wants her community to know about the boxes so people understand that they have two new secure locations — available any time of the day — to drop off flags that need to be retired.
Emma's mom, Crystal Ehret, said she is thrilled to see her daughter applying her energy and effort to such a worthwhile community project. Reporter Steven Mayer can be reached at More Coronavirus coverage. Login Subscribe. Thank you for reading!
