MARYSVILLE — American Legion Post 178 will partner with Carr’s Hardware on Third Street to host the Post’s annual flag retirement ceremony on Saturday, Sept. 7, starting at 10:30 a.m. in the empty lot adjacent to 1521 Second Ave. in Marysville, just south of Carr’s Hardware. “Post 178’s Executive Committee will perform the ceremony, with help from fellow Legionnaires and interested members of the public,” American Legion Post 178 2nd Vice Cmdr. Jennifer Smolen said. “Darlene Scott, owner of Carr’s Hardware, is donating the use of the empty space on the south side of the store for the ceremony, and for public parking during the event.” Post 178 has long since made a yearly tradition out of collecting old, worn, tattered U.S. flags, and then disposing of them in a ceremony intended to bestow dignity and respect upon the faded carriers of the nation’s colors. “It’s the opposite of a protest-style flag-burning,”
