True Patriots Care probably had 3000 worn out American Flags that had to be retired. Thanks to the American Legion Brothers that performed the ceremony for Jerry Christerpherson president of True Patriots Care. Each legion member ceremoniously presented a flag to the fire until the required 14 were burnt. Then the rest of the flags were entered into the fire.
