Saturday, April 26, members of Boy Scouts and the Historical
Society of Montgomery County will hold the annual Retirement of Flags Ceremony
at the Historic Montgomery Cemetery, One Hartranft Avenue, Norristown,

The flags will be retired in accordance with The United

a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably
by burning.”
The public is invited to join the ceremony and bring their
own flags to retire. Flags may also be dropped off at the Historical Society,
