Flag Day in Ruston, Louisiana, 2013.

Owens Funeral Home, Ruston Boy Scouts, the Veterans of Foreign Wars,  and others conducted a Flag Day ceremony today. The ceremony was combined with properly disposing of some hundred no longer useable flags.











The ashes of the old flags of Ruston now have a permanent resting place and a marker.



Everyone dug into hot dogs and cold pop after the ceremony.

This is the second of this annual ceremony. It was MC'd by Commander JD Harper who is getting to be an expert. It really is a nice ceremony.
