Maya and Jeanine participated in a ceremonial American Flag Retirement ceremony today at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetary replete with fife and drum band, bag pipes, the playing of taps, and a three cannon salute. Girl and Boy Scouts folded flags to be retired and then handed them off to a military family being honored for their father’s recent return from Iraq. They are then passed to a fire marshall in full uniform who respectfully places the flag in a container in which it is burned.
