The post was contacted by manager Kirby Clock who said the old flag was beginning to show a lot of wear and tear.

Since the flag is lighted, it flies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, regardless of the weather. The combination of wind, bright sunshine, and a little bit of rain and snow had taken its toll on "Old Glory."

The VFW replaces the flag when necessary, retiring the old flag with the honor it deserves.
