SHERMAN COUNTY PROVIDES NEW OPTION FOR PROPER DISPOSAL OF WORN U.S. FLAGS

New flag disposal box installed at Sherman County Courthouse.

    In partnership with the National Association of Counties, the National Flag Foundation, Sherman County has installed a flag retirement box, at no cost to the County, at the Sherman County Courthouse, on the lower level. Flags should be folded respectfully before being placed in the box.

    The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. Members of the Loup City American Legion will be performing the flag retirement ceremonies for the proper disposal of the worn flags.

    “This centrally-located drop-off provides convenience while respecting our national symbol,” said Marcy Sekutera-Sherman County Clerk. “The county is unified in helping enable our citizens to respect our great nation while disposing of old or worn-out flags.”
