This was taken during a flag retirement ceremony. If you have never been to one, it is a very respectful, and reverent process. As we watch serval well used flags being retired these lyrics from the “Star Spangled Banner” repeated in my head; “Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?” This was my submission for this weeks 52Frames challenge “inspired by song lyric”. #starsandstripes #memorialdayweekend #flagretirement #lfcbsa #flag #fire #scouting #boyscoutsofamerica #retirement #lastfrontiercouncil #greatful #patriot #patriotism #honor #respect #thankyou #usa #usaflag #america #freedom #memorialday #memorialize #52frames #52frames_favoritesonglyric (at Edmond, Oklahoma) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx8RWFvhhnc/?igshid=12g2eslq5pyht
