Flag Retirement Ceremony 9/10/2011

Scouter and Scout Community,

Sorry this is short notice. We have had a great group of volunteers working on getting this together.

On Saturday September 10th a Flag Retirement Ceremony has been planned to be held in the parking lot of Nuts and Bolts Hardware (2320 S Collins St in Arlington). We are asking if any Boy Scout, Venture, and Adults that could help arrive no later then 10:30am in uniform and bring scissors to help in the ceremony.

Cub Scouts, Parents, and Community are welcome to attend the Ceremony that will start at 11:00am. The plan is to retire flags for an hour and to be done by noon.

There seems to be fewer flags flying these days, and many of those that still fly show signs of wear and tear.
As we approach Sunday's commemoration of the 9-11 attacks on America, 98.7 KLUV encourages you to replace your worn, torn or tattered flag and fly a bright, fresh flag on this most important of anniversaries.
We've teamed with Elliott's Hardware, Mr. C's Ace Hardware and Nuts 'n Bolts Hardware to make three-by-five, American-made, American flags available for just $5…but only through this Sunday, 9-11.

Just bring your old flag to one of the locations listed below and you can get a new flag for Just $5 (including pole and mounting bracket).
$5 is the price…but if you pay $6 (or more!), the extra funds will be donated to the USO at DFW Airport!
Whether you decide to buy a flag or not, you can bring in an old flag and we will see that it receives a respectful and proper retirement.
