New stars and stripes

On Friday, members of Big 19 Scout Troop retired one U.S. flag and raised a new one during a Veterans Day ceremony at the Blue Star Memorial Monument at the Evergreen Garden Club Gardens in Belfair, on state Route 3. The Kiwanis Club of North Mason sponsored the event.

Roy Harrington, a Washington State Patrol chaplain who works with Disabled American Veterans Chapter 22 in Belfair, speaks at the Veterans Day event.
