[Canyon] Flag retirement ceremony
Tom Fiddaman
Ceremony to replace the current, worn flag at the Bridger Canyon Fire
Department with a new one. The original flag was given by Heidi McLoughlin
in memory of her husband, Mike. The replacement flag is given by Sharon
Erickson, in memory of her husband, Jerry.
Boy Scouts of Troop 676 will form the Honor Guard and perform the retirement
ceremony, in which they will retire the old flag and present it to Heidi,
and then raise the new flag. They will also be retiring (destroying and
burning) several other old flags that have been entrusted to them to dispose
of properly by performing a Naval Flag Retirement Ceremony. The boys are
excited, as it is training night for the Fire Department and they will be
there in their regalia. Jerry Erickson was former Scoutmaster of Troop 676,
and Sharon and Jerry's son, Eric, earned his Eagle Scout rank in the Troop.
Bozemanites from town will be there, and the media has been notified by the
Scout Troop, so it may be interesting. Hope you can come to honor our flag
and support the Canyon!
