I would like to recognize the Lenoir Branch of the Bank of Granite. While in Lenoir, I saw that their flag was in poor condition and about ready to be retired. I entered the bank and asked to see the branch manager, Ms. Kelly Melton. I introduced myself and asked if she knew about the state of the branch's United States flag. She said that she did know, and a new flag was on the way. She did admit not knowing exactly what to do with the old flag till the new one came in, so I respectfully told her that it was best to take it down till the new one arrived. I asked if she knew how to properly retire the flag and she told me that the bank was giving it to a local Cub Scout group so that they could learn the proper method.
