What to Do with An Old American Flag

Flag retirement drop boxes like this one at the VFW on 75th Street in Overland Park are provided by VFWs to allow the community to properly dispose of worn, torn and faded American Flags in a respectful manner. The American Legion burns the flags in a Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags as a dignified tribute to the U.S. flag and to its symbolism.
