White Salmon American Legion Post 87 and Elks Lodge 1868 will hold an American flag retirement ceremony on Friday, which is Flag Day. The 30-minute event will be conducted at Rheingarten Part in White Salmon. The ceremony will properly retire old, worn U.S. Flags that have been submitted by Klickitat County citizens. In addition, Elks Lodge members will present a brief history of the American Flag, while displaying eight, full size historical American flags. Klickitat County residents are invited to dispose of unserviceable US flags of any size by depositing them in a box located at Hunsacker’s gas station in White Salmon. They will be collected and later ceremoniously retired, at this or a similar event.
