Great News on this Extra Day of the Year! We have a new American flag retirement box in the Moore County Courthouse. 🇺🇸
The box is provided thanks to a partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the Tennessee County Services Association (TCSA).
When an American flag becomes worn out or torn, the U.S. Flag Code dictates how to respectfully retire it. Too many of our residents are unsure of how to care for our nation's symbol.
In Moore County, we have partnered with Lynchburg Boy Scout Troop 502. They will be monitoring the box, collecting the flags and will carry out regular retirement ceremonies.
