Boy Scout Troop 17 of Metuchen-Edison is calling on all area residents to bring their torn, tattered and otherwise damaged flags to Metuchen’s 89th annual Memorial Day Parade, which begins at 10 a.m. on May 30.
As they march in the parade, the scouts will collect the flags from residents along the parade route.
Troop 17 will formally retire the flags collected from paradegoers during a camping trip at a later date.
