In honor of Veterans' Day, Nov. 11th, remember that the Edward Jones office in Chatsworth continues to serve as a drop-off location for retired American flags.

Mark Fishlowitz, the local Edward Jones investment representative in Chatsworth, has joined together with the Kiwanis Club of Northridge and the Elks Lodge of Canoga Park by using his office as a drop-off location for tattered and unserviceable American flags.

"With the support of the community, we have successfully retired more than 300 flags this year.

As time goes on, flags become worn, torn or just faded to the point that the flags should be replaced with new ones. Many people in our community have not known what to do with the flag that is being replaced. Local residents may continue to bring in their retired American flags to us for a proper and respectful decommissioning."

Flags may be dropped off at 9913 Topanga Canyon Blvd., Chatsworth, during regular business hours. For more information, call (818) 998-5974.
