I’ve frequently driven by the American Legion post near my home and admired the small missile displayed there, but only today noticed a mailbox next to it where you can deposit old flags to be disposed of properly (i.e., ceremonially burned). A google search yields lots of Legion posts that do this, which I was happy to see since I have a tattered, faded (and cheap) flag that I’ve been wanting to get rid of but obviously wasn’t about to throw in the trash.
