Additional flag retirement boxes will be placed throughout the County. Flags should be folded respectfully before being placed in the box. The United States Flag Code prescribes flag etiquette — everything from flying it near other flags to instructions on how to raise and lower it. “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way,” says the code. Members of American Legion Post 130 in LaBelle will be responsible for the proper disposal of the worn flags. # # # SHARE × Share this page Copy and paste this code into your website. <a href="http://www.hendryfla.net/news_detail_T4_R190.php">Your Link Name</a> Share this page on your favorite Social network Facebook Twitter Reddit Close
