Flag Retirement at Elma

  Sunday, the troop went to Elma and met troop 4014 at the memorial park to retire some American flags.  The whole troop was in full uniform, it was probably 90 degrees out, and there was a fire going to burn the flags.  We were all very warm.

  As always, here are some of the pictures that were taken.
