Today at the Blaine B. Barshinger VFW Post #882 at 11 AM was the Flag Burning Ceremony in honor of Flag Day. The ceremony was attended by community members, Veterans, Auxiliary Members and assisting with the ceremony was Marysville Scouts of America Troop 56.
A flag burning ceremony, formally known as a flag retirement, is a highly respectful and solemn tradition used to properly dispose of worn or damaged United States flags. Under the U.S. Flag Code, burning is the preferred method when a flag is no longer fit to serve.
