Memorial Day 2013

Columbians showed their patriotism this Memorial Day by displaying American flags, specifically on the 800 block of Plane Street - and on the 100 block of South Sixth Street, as pictured above.

 Unfortunately, some folks did not obtain new flags and continued to fly worn ones that should have been disposed of in a dignified manner, as shown above at a local residence . . .

and here, in front of a local business.

Ace hardware has a box for old, worn out flag disposal clearly labeled inside the entryway to the store. New flags are fairly priced.

thanks for that info! Mountville has an old mail box (that used to be used by post office workers for stoirng mail) in front of the VFW on Main St for used flags........I tell people that all the time. I wish Columbia would do that too!!! Maybe the VFW here will :)
