Members of the John Percifull Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, including, from left, Mary Lee Thompson, Robin Williams, Karen Peterson and Bert Manning, cut the stripes from two American flags considered unserviceable during a flag retirement ceremony at Lakeside Middle School Monday. Member Cindy Smith, not pictured, discussed the history of the flag, its symbolism and what the stars and stripes represent before demonstrating the step-by-step process of disposing of flags for about 280 fifth-graders as part of Freedom Week.
