Veteran's Day Flag Retirement Ceremony

| No TrackBacks
Yes, we burn the American flag in Concord.  But don't think it's out of protest or disrespect -- in fact, it's just the opposite.  Our flag burning is actually an act of respect: we retire worn flags with dignity and honor.  We do this every year on Veteran's day to thousands of flags, a ceremony that involves the involvement from every facet of our community.

Beautiful photos by Concordian Rich Stevenson of this year's ceremony are below. (click on any to see a larger view in a separate window).
