Marilyn Martin has collected flags to be retired during a Boy Scouts Troop 3 Flag Retirement Ceremony at 7 p.m. at the Lake House behind the Presbyterian Church on Thursday.
How much do you know about the history of our American flag: The Star Spangled Banner; Red, White and Blue; The Grand Old Flag; Old Glory; Stars and Stripes? The flag is visible at schoolyards, classrooms, libraries, homes, businesses and sports arenas. It has been planted in spectacular locations such as Mount Everest and on the moon.
