The Daughters of the American Revolution in Pasco County are honoring the American flag by setting up a drop-off box at Dade City Hall for proper flag retirement. Members emphasize the importance of respecting the flag, especially as Florida’s weather damages flags over time. The U.S. Flag Code outlines respectful disposal methods, including burning cotton flags and specific cutting techniques for synthetic ones. Last year, the DAR retired over 1,000 flags, and the new box is expected to collect even more. The initiative reflects community pride and civic duty, particularly as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
