BANGOR, Wash. (June 14, 2017) Electronics Technician (Navigation) 1st Class Mark Keim, from College Station, Texas, 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.
