And how about tattered ortom flags -- is there a correct way to retire them?The answers to those questions were deeply important to the late John Cochran, a KoreanWar veteran from Burlington who spent many of his retirement years trying to educate peopleabout flags and flag etiquette.In his memory, a Massachusetts-based American Veterans of World War II, Korea andVietnam post will sponsor flag education programs in several New England public schools thisyear.Cochran, who died two years ago at 66, had been close friends with the commander of AmvetsPost 12 in Chicopee, Mass., according to his brother, Don Cochran of Burlington.Post 12 has been selling flags since April to raise money for a flag education campaign, andannounced this week that it will sponsor a number of New England schools to participate in atraining program run by the National Flag Foundation. The goal is to educate young peopleabout the correct way to display and care for an American flag.John Cochran, who was stationed in Japan during his service in the Air Force, later workedfor the Farmington school system. He felt strongly that Americans should know the correct rulesfor handling their flag."He had a need to spread flag etiquette. He went about it tooth and nail," said Don Cochran,a Vietnam War veteran who holds vigils to publicize the campaign to remember U.S. prisonersof war and servicemen missing in action."John got interested in the vigils to keep people aware of the fact that sometimes people goto war and don't come back. But his real specialty was flag etiquette," Don Cochran said.28
