Members of VFW Post 7059 and Auxiliary presented a flag retirement ceremony at the 4-H Learning Center near Appomattox. Over 200 campers and counselors participated in the patriotic ceremony, which retires a no longer serviceable flag by disassembly of the flag and respectfully burning the components.
