Flag Burning Ceremony

Every year at the Spanish Fork Fair Grounds the city has a Flag Burning Ceremony where they retire old flags.  This year my sister Katie told us to bring Joshua's scout shirt and he could help his cousins Ben and Tyler hand flags to the soldiers.  The first flag they brought in was the big flag that was flying outside the arena.  Then they had all the scouts come down and make a huge circle around the grounds.  Each scout was handed a flag and then they walked to the center and handed it to a Soldier who then placed it on the fire.  All three of them were so excited.  My Grandpa Swenson was there with the military, what a neat opportunity for Josh to be there with his Great Grandpa.   It was truly an awesome experience for all of us!
