Joplin’s American Legion Post 13 will conduct a Flag Retirement Ceremony at 4:00 p.m. on Flag Day, Sunday, the 14th of June. The event will take place on the west side of Memorial Hall, at 8th & Joplin. The community can participate or bring retired U.S. or State flags for disposal. Mr. Harrington adds, “There will be a brief ceremony at the beginning, then we will care for all the flags we receive.” If individuals wish to retire their family flag, Legion members will be on hand to assist.
