Flag Burning Planned For Monday In Hamburg

The long weekend is here and before you fire up the grill or get the pool opened, remember the reason why most have the day off on Monday.

The Hamburg Moose Will Host The Ceremony At Noon.

There is a proper way to dispose of a torn and tattered or worn out American flag. According to at elast one website,

According to the U.S. Flag Code, “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning”.

If you don't have a flag yet, perhaps this is the weekend you get one and put it on the house or the front yard? The Made in America Store in Elma is a great place to find a flag that is Made in the USA.It is amazing how many flags are made in other countries and yet, we buy them.

Enjoy your family and friends this weekend and take some time to teach your kids or remember what Memorial Day is all about and why we have the things we have in the United States!
