BRISTOL – State Representatives Cara Pavalock-D’Amato (R-77), Whit Betts (R-78) and State Senator Henri Martin (R-31) are encouraging residents to ‘Retire Your Worn American Flags’ for a proper retirement. Flags will be collected beginning Tuesday, May 31st through Friday, June 10th at two drop off locations in Bristol.
The U.S. Flag Code specifies that the flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. All flags collected during this time will be brought to a local veteran’s organization for a proper retirement ceremony.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Reps. Pavalock-D’Amato and Betts via phone at (800) 842-1423 or by email at Cara.Pavalock@housegop.ct.gov or Whit.Betts@housegop.ct.gov. For Henri Martin call (800) 842-1421 or email at Henri.Martin@cga.ct.gov.
