ENTERPRISE– Approximately 50 flags will be retired Saturday as part of a flag retirement ceremony at John Wiley Brock VFW Post 6683 on County Road 537 in Enterprise.
“The flag is the symbol of our country and when it’s worn and tattered, it deserves to be disposed of properly,” VFW Post 6683 Commander Robert Schmidbauer said. “We take pride in properly disposing of the symbol of our great country. It’s something I believe we should all do.”

Schmidbauer encouraged everyone to attend Saturday’s ceremony. “If you haven’t seen it, you’ve got young kids that are in JROTC, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, or if you’re a patriotic family, we encourage you to come out,” he said. “You can either observe or we can make you part of the retirement ceremony itself.”
