It Waves for All

Thursday, June 15, 2017
A 21-gun salute and an unserviceable flag disposal ceremony highlight a Flag Day program Wednesday evening at Greencastle American Legion Post 58 in Greencastle. Holding a retired flag to be placed in the burn pit, Sons of the American Legion (SAL) Sergeant-at-Arms Jeff Bray stands at attention as Mike Lanham (right) reads the procedure aloud before Bray places the flag on the fire. Members of the Legion and VFW Honor Guard (from left) Don Miller, Bob Tyler, Bill Strahl, Buck Martin, Dick Keller, Alan Jones and Tony Sparks await their 21-gun salute.
