While this is a news article it has a lot of good information and gives a good perspective on handling retired flags:

I didn't find anything on the page linked to so I did a search on the Jonesboro (Arkansas) Sun :

BTW : The "Flag Keepers" website that is linked to at the bottom of "THE SUN" Article, "Two veterans lead effort on proper flag disposal", is currently "down". The link didn't work properly, so I went straight to the site, FlagKeepers.ORG. The message on their Main Page has the title: "The Flag Keepers Website is Shutting Down.", followed by a short explanatory statement. I did NOT see a date associated with the shutdown or indicating when the statement was mad, so I don't know how "old" it is.

However, if you type the following address into your browser, FlagKeepers.COM, you "should" reach THIS page :

http://www.flagkeepers.com/

Apparently, it is some kind of "support" site/group for the original Flag Keepers .org website.

Thanks Robin for digging deeper. They must have pulled the story after I posted. You would think they would want the traffic to their site.

It might be that the "space" where the story WAS is merely a "limited time" parking spot for a daily story. Or something like that.

I thought that maybe I could search for the staory so I looked around for a "search" function but didn't find one.

But THE SUN does have on-line ARCHIVES, and their archives page DOES have a search function. I quickly found it, then copy-pasted the whole, entire story in my post. But Peter pulled the story itself due to the possibility of copywrite infringement issues. Hopefully, THE SUN won't change the story's "archive" page !!!
