Disposing of American Flags Properly

(Cleveland)- In addition to fireworks  for the fourth, the American Legion Post 16 in Cleveland held  an official  American Flag disposal ceremony.  The ceremony included lowering the American Flag in front of the legion post and adding it to the more than 200 flags that had been collected for the ceremony, where the flags were properly burned. 

The crowd on hand was described as the largest ever for this type event.  Following  the disposal performed  by  members of  Boy Scout  Troup 48  of Cleveland a  picnic was held at the Legion Post  south of Cleveland.
