Flag Burning Ceremony

 In June my parents ward Scout troop conducted a flag retirement ceremony.  They let members of the ward know in advance so they could collect all of the flags that had been worn out to retire them all at the same time. 

A couple of the leaders said a few words and all of the scouts participated by dropping one flag at a time on to the burning fire until all the flags were burned into ashes.  It was a pretty cool experience.
