The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic, mutual-help, war-time veterans organization -- a community-service organization which now numbers nearly 3 million members -- men and women -- in nearly 15,000 American Legion Posts worldwide. These Posts are organized into 55 Departments -- one each for the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, France, Mexico, and the Philippines.
On Saturday January 25th, the Howard County VSOs conducted another successful Flag Retirement Ceremony. At total of 725 flags were retired, bringing our 4-year total to 8893 flags respectfully retired. Of special interest was the retirement of an extra large US flag that required everyone to hold it and spread it for an "All Hands" photo that can be seen below.
Special thanks to Marv Stocker for planning the Flag Retirement Ceremony, and to all of the VSO members, Civil Air Patrol members, Scouts, SAR members, DAR members, Blue Star Families members, and county officials who either participated in the event or attended it.
