Don’t know what to do with old, tattered U.S. flags? Local volunteers can help be sure they’re retired with proper respect.

Marion Brownie Troop 59 will collect flags from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Dec. 11, in front of the American Legion building during the Christmas celebration in Marion.

The flags will be properly disposed of later at a burning ceremony by the Legion post.

If unable to bring flags to the Brownies, call (620) 382-3279 or (620) 382-6734, and they will pick them up.
