GORHAM — Gorham American Legion Post 82 members participated in flag retirement ceremonies Sunday, June 13, in advance of the observance of flag day on June 14. The ragged and faded United States flags were collected from the flag box on the town common and brought to the Legion post for proper disposal.

Post Commander Craig White and members Dave Saucier, Warren Ingram and Bud White performed the ceremonies in the legion post parking lot with a few members of the public, Al Costine, Beverly Adams and Rachel Hebert, in attendance.
