Heading home after dinner in Colchester tonight, I noticed something on the Colchester green – a large fire. But this was no barbecue dinner. I then remembered that today was Flag Day – the American Legion was burning old worn & tattered US flags in their annual flag burning ceremony on the green. So of course I pulled over & grabbed some photos.
Speaking with one of the Legioneers, they destroyed about 2,600 copies of Old Glory today, about 1,000 of which were from veteran’s graves around town. The rest were collected by the Boy Scouts and Legioneers over the past year for today’s ceremony. Here’s the shots.

Thanks for looking!
