Given to him for his service with the U.S. Military, this flag belonged to her father, Charles Leon Martin, who passed away in 1991. The flag was particularly special as it was dedicated to him in honor of his tour overseas; he fought for American freedom in World War II. The veteran retired and lived a long, successfill life afterward, and upon his passing, the flag was passed on to White. “Color Guards! Retire the colors!” Colnot sounded after allowing the flag to stretch its threads for a brief minute. “It was time.,White half whispered, and the glisten of tears could be seen welling up in her eyes. Twenty-four years later, she had made the dif ficult decision to retire her father’s colors, and she couldnt have chosen a better group to perform the intricate ceremony recommended for proper disposal^of our Nation’s Flag. The Flag Retirement Ceremony executed by Photo by Emily Braswell the Scouts jwás dbné*?with the utmost respect, and the somber nature they held throughout was not only impressive, but also very much appreciated, The boys perform the Pledge of Allegiance especially by White. While Ihe crowd of people thinned out, the boys continued to ceremoni ally retire the 60 flags, each containing random number of smaller flags in side of them. The Scoutmaster of Troop 438, Kurt Colnot, estimated there to be anywhere between 120 and 145 flags total. Respectfully, each Boy Scout remained near the fire pits until no ember bared resemblance to Americans symbol of freedom.

He is building up his own company, Scott Fraser Media. Baker City remains Fraser’s ‘home base.’ “I moved to Bend to have some more options for my work, but still had a Baker City feel,” he said of his house in the country. His few acres outside of town remind him of home.
