On Saturday Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 399 proudly accepted a handcrafted American flag retirement drop box donated by Will Bernard of Westport’s Scout Troop 39 as part of his Eagle Scout project.
The custom-built drop box offers a respectful way for members of the community to properly retire worn and weathered U.S. flags. “We sincerely appreciated this contribution to our post and to the veteran community”, said Phil Delgado, VFW Quartermaster.
VFW Post 399 conducts ceremonial flag retirements throughout the year, ensuring each flag is respectfully and properly disposed of in accordance with U.S. Flag Code.
