Honor Guards perform first flag retirement on National Flag Day
Senior Airman Anthony Padilla, 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, cuts the individual stripes from a flag during a flag retirement ceremony at American Legion Post 235 in Fort Walton Beach, Fla., June 14, 2017. Cutting the red and white stripes renders it no longer a flag. When a flag is worn beyond repair, it should be retired in a dignified manner. Honor Guards from Eglin Air Force Base and Hurlburt Field participated in the observance dating back to 1937. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kristin Stewart)
