— The Gravette American Legion Post 25 will conduct a flag retirement ceremony Tuesday, June 15, behind the pool area at the Gravette Civic Center. The observance will begin at 6 p.m.

The post is accepting tattered and faded flags. If you have flags to be retired contact Post Commander Bill Howard at 787-6356 or Post Adjutant J. R. Gibbs at 899-3506 or drop off flags at Gravette City Hall duringnormal business hours.

The pubic is invited and encouraged to attend this reflective service to see how old flags are disposed of in a proper ceremony, Gibbs said.

Vice-Commander Mike Carnahan will be grilling free hamburgers and hot dogs immediately following the ceremony and there will be side dishes, dessert and drinks provided by the ladies of the post.
