The building looms over the bustling Route 24, once called Chester Pike, just east of Long Valley center. At once, upon seeing it, you know that the mill holds a thousand stories and probably a thousand more secrets in its ancient timbers.

US Flag Disposal

According to Veterans Organizations, when an American Flag becomes worn, faded, torn or soiled, it should be retired and replaced with a new flag.  It is illeagal to throw away the American Flag and th Flag Codes state tht it should be destroyed with  dignity, preferabley by burning. 

Thre are several ways to respectfully dispose of an American Flag.  The most common method is burning the torn or tattered flag in a special ceremony. This is best done by taking your old flag to an American Legion or VFW post, where Veterans and members may then hold a ceremony as they properly retire and dispose of it.
