The Exchange Club, in cooperation with local funeral homes, has started a program that will retire old American flags and honor veterans at the same time.“For many years The Parade of Flags has been a project of the McMinnville Evening Exchange Club to appropriately fly the flag of the United States on national holidays and other proper occasions,” said former national Exchange Club president Ken Roberts, who is a member of McMinnville Evening Exchange. “This project lines the primary city thoroughfare with our national emblem at 100-foot intervals. It is both a fitting patriotic service project and a fundraiser for the club.
