MIDDLETOWN—A lot of people made many sacrifices for their country and treating the flag with respect is a way of honoring that sacrifice, says Myron “Bucky” Simpson, a Minisink resident and Korean War veteran.
“A lot of people have given their life to respect that American flag,” he said.“If you’re going to fly the American flag, fly it in the proper manner.”
Simpson is the progenitor of Middletown’s two flag drops, converted postal boxes where people can put their worn out flags.
