White Salmon American Legion Post 87 and Elks Lodge 1868 will perform an American flag retirement ceremony on Flag Day this Wednesday.  The 30-minute event will start at 6 p.m. in Rheingarten Park to 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.  Citizens are invited to dispose of unserviceable U.S. flags of any size by depositing them in a box located at Hunsaker’s gas station in White Salmon.  They will be collected and later ceremoniously retired, at Wednesday’s ceremony or a similar event.  All community members are encouraged to attend.
