On Flag Day, June 14, River Vale Post 477, The American Legion performed their annual ceremonial retirement of unserviceable American flags.  They were assisted by Boy Scout Troop 206, who also helped collect the flags throughout town in the weeks prior to the ceremony.  After a ritual presentation and inspection of the flags slated for retirement, they were respectfully burned and the ashes buried. The ceremony was well attended by townspeople who welcomed the opportunity to honor and respect the symbol of our country, its flag.
