CROSSVILLE —
The Crab-Orchard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution held a flag retirement ceremony Saturday at the Spirit Broadband Amphitheater. At the conclusion of the ceremony, those in attendance were invited to add their pieces of a retired American flag to the flames as Kynzie Smith, Lydia Schultz, Paige Stinnett and Adelle Sweeny, all portraying Betsy Ross, looked on.
Sharon Howe adds the union of the retired American flag to the fire at a flag retirement ceremony held Saturday by the Crab-Orchard Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. The flag, which was no longer a suitable symbol for the nation, had the union removed and each stripe was cut and burned individually.
