- Probably the Veterans of Foreign Wars could help you. I was told that if
- you wanted a flag ceremony (and even a flag for your troop) to call up the
- VFW and they would come out and show your troop how to show respect for
- the flag. I'm sure they would know what to do when the flag is ready to
- go. I think you're supposed to burn it, but I'm not sure.
