WHEATLAND – On Thursday, members of the local VFW and American Legion chapters in Wheatland retired more than 200 United States flags with a special ceremony.
The ceremony took place at the Platte County Courthouse, and was conducted much like a short funeral service.
The flags had been collected from the community.
VFW and American member Rod Birkle said that flags collected from the community had become worn or damaged over time, making them unserviceable.
