REPLACING THE AMERICAN FLAG AT THE CORVALLIS VETERANS MEMORIAL

The Corvallis American Legion, which I am a member, replaced the tattered flag the other day with the help of the Senior Class of Corvallis High School.  We also did a flag disposal ceremony and burned the flag.  I took a few pictures that are below and here is a link to a picture of me on the ladder unhooking the flag.  picture of tattered flag

Here is a link to a related story about our bugle that my nephew Doug Mason is now playing when we do memorial services for Veterans.  bugle article

Our flag was getting pretty tattered in all the wind we had this spring.

The new flag we put up to replace the tattered one looks a lot better.
