I don't know if you will feel that this is "protocol", but flags can be donated to Operation Shoebox. (Mondays @ Lake Miona rec center) This is the volunteer group that assembles and sends packages to our men and women serving overseas.
Within each bag that is packed is a note attached to a star cut from a retired American flag that can be tucked into a pocket or helmet.... notes of thanks that Operation Shoebox has received from recipients always include mention of that star. It is a gift of true caring to each recipient and touches them deeply.
