The Brookfield VFW Post is co-hosting a flag collection drive with State Representative Stephen Harding.  He encouraged  constituents to drop off worn and damaged American Flags to be properly and honorably disposed of.  The collection started today and continues through June 13th.  Drop off boxes are located at Brookfield Library and Senior Center.  According to the U.S. Flag Code, when the American flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by a controlled burning ceremony.
