22 | haddonfield.today#072 • MAY 15 TO 29, 20201919 • 2019HADDONFIELD POST 38Limited observance of Memorial DayMemorial Day – the last Monday in May – is when America honors and mourns militarypersonnel who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Each year,Post 38 sponsors a ceremony in front of Haddonfield Memorial High School. But not in2020. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s observance has been canceled.On the evening of Friday, May 22, members of Post 38 will “dress the graves” (placeAmerican flags) of departed service men and women in the Baptist and Methodistcemeteries in Haddonfield.On Monday, May 25, a brief ceremony for members of the Post will be held at theheadquarters on Veterans Lane, starting at 9am.’Tis the season to fly the Flag ... with pride!Spring is not only the time of year when flowers begin to bloom, it’s also the seasonwhen flags begin to fly. Some homeowners and business owners fly the American flag attheir homes and premises year-round. Many currently are flying it at half-staff, in honorof those on the front lines who have succumbed to COVID-19. Others hoist it for specialoccasions. If you’re one of the latter, the key dates you need to know for 2020 are:• Memorial Day – Monday, May 25• Flag Day – Sunday, June 14• Independence Day – Saturday, July 4• Patriot Day – Friday, September 11• National POW/MIA Recognition Day – Friday, September 18• Veterans Day – Wednesday, November 11HoW to FLY tHe FLaGMost people know that the flag should be flown upside-down only to indicate distress.But many people do not know the rules for correct placement and orientation.On your house or office building, the flag should be to your right when you stand atthe front door and face away from the building. The same applies on a podium: The flagshould be to the speaker’s right.When the flag is displayed vertically, it should be hung so the “canton” (the blue partwith the 50 white stars) is to the audience’s left. This applies whether the stripes areparallel to the ground or perpendicular to the ground.HoW to DisPose oF FLaGsDo you have a flag that’s faded, torn, stained and unable to be cleaned, or in someother way unserviceable? Don’t throw it in the trash – that would be disrespectful. Instead,stop by the American Legion Post 38 headquarters on Veterans Lane and place your flagin the metal box outside. Alternatively, drop it at the Fire Station on N. Haddon Avenue.Haddon Fire Co. No. 1 conducts a dignified and solemn ceremony, in accordance withAmerican Legion guidelines, during which unserviceable flags are retired and burned.Scan for avideo of theUS MARINEBAND playingThe Stars &Stripes Forever..Learn aboutFlAGETIQUETTEScan the QRcode:.● Both THE AMERICAN LEGION and HADDONFIELD POST 38 celebrated 100 years of service in 2020.
