BANGOR, Wash. (June 12, 2015) Chief Electronics Technician Nathaniel McKinley, assigned to Trident Training Facility Bangor, renders a salute after placing the remains of a U.S. flag into a fire during a flag retirement ceremony at Naval Base Kitsap - Bangor. When a U.S. flag becomes worn, torn, faded, or badly soiled, the flag should be retired with the dignity and respect befitting it. The traditional method is to cut the flag into pieces; separating the 13 stripes from canton and incinerating them separately in a respectful manner.
