Caldwell Eagles Lodge Retires “Old Glory”
By Leora Summers, Caldwell Perspective Editor
Vietnam Vet and Legacy Vet Motorcycle Club of Caldwell Honored at Event
L to R: Cilla Clawson, RC “Streetwise” Clawson, Dan “Jeweler” Ward, Jo Ward, Luke Hayward, Brian Alspach, Christine Woodside, Max “Pilgrim” Woodside
The Caldwell Eagles Lodge ceremoniously replaced the American flag that flew high on their building at 815 Arthur Street on June 6th with the “Vietnam Vet and Legacy Vet Motorcycle Club of Caldwell” and others in attendance.
She was then passed on to RC “Streetwise” Clawson, the president of the vet’s motorcycle club, for proper disposal. He stood there with the flag under his arm as Gary Helfrich (Eagle member) began to raise the new American flag along with the Veteran’s flag. A beautiful new American flag now graces the Caldwell Eagles Lodge with the Veteran’s flag (honoring those who served our country) flying directly below it.
“Old Glory” was properly folded in the respected traditional triangle fold for American flags by Eagle members Bob Gans and Vince Deleon as Gary Helfrich looks on.
The flag that was retired at the Caldwell Eagles Lodge had been raised for the first time at that site in 1978. It definitely lived up to the name of “Old Glory.” It was time to put her to rest.
Displaying the Flag Outdoors from www.usflag.org When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting from a window, balcony, or a building, the union should be at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half staff. When the U.S. flag is displayed from the same flagpole with another flag - of a state, community, society or Scout
unit - the flag of the United States must always be at the top except that the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for Navy personnel when conducted by a Naval chaplain on a ship at sea.
When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag’s union should be farthest from the building.
