There are suggestions and ceremonies online.So is there a procedure you are supposed to follow for the retirement process?
Or, just be solemn and respectful.
Our Legion Post dismantles the first flag.
Separate the stripes and blue field.
Each step has a little thing we read, then place the item into the fire.
After the first flag, we just feed the entire flag.
Some places feed it in folded.
But we find it goes faster to feed it unfolded.
We have a grate over fire, so the flag doesn't actually go on the ground.
Don't put too many on at once, or you choke off the fire.
