the executive director of the Klema County Veteran Service Commission.
God bless Steve and his service to our country and
his ongoing service with the services provided by the Klemic
County Veteran Service Commission. And to talk about something of
vital importance to him and all veterans, and I would
(00:52):
hope the vast majority of the American people Flag Day.
Good to have you in the studio.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Brian, You're the Coffee of Cincinnati. So thanks being.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Out here, brother, that's a nice compliment. I appreciate that anyhow.
You know, I love the flag and for me, the
flag stands for freedom, freedom, freedom for you and me
to live as we choose to live in a country
doesn't force us to live in a particular way, and
that's what the symbol stands for. And I hate the
fact that people use it as a as a source
(01:20):
of division.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
As a token to somehow divide the masses. I know,
it makes no sense. They thrive to enter our country
and yet then there's this movement to disgrace the symbol
that we have.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Well, and Flag Day is a great idea for us
to get back on track. And it is coming up
June fourteenth. When was the first Flag Day? And how
long have we been I hope celebrating.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Wow. Yeah, So the actual adoption of the flags back
in seventeen seventy seven, we know, But the celebration of
Flag Day started back in nineteen sixteen. However, it wasn't
until it Woodrow Wilson of all people, of all people
in nineteen sixteen entered legislation, but it didn't take and
(02:07):
then it wasn't until nineteen forty nine. So you think
about that. Thirty three years later, the National Flag Day
was adopted by an Act of Congress. Isn't that something
it is?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's sad when you think about it, but thank god
at least they got around to it, right.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Right right. I guess World War One kind of set
it aside in sixteen. I don't know, a.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Little distracted by that one, Yeah, I can imagine. Anyway.
I tell you what we're up at a break, but
we'll continue talk about the reason we fly the flag

you're doing for our veterans. Quick word for foreign exchange,

Station seven fifty fifty five KRCV Talkstation, A Happy Wednesday.
Steve Belzo in studio, Executive Victor of the Comic County
Veteran Service Commission, talking about Flag Day. It's next Saturday,
and I have the honor of anticipating the flag retirement
ceremony every year will be at the Union Township Civic Center.
And I'm going to be audited to say a few
(04:55):
words there and learn how to properly dispose of a flag.
And there is a proper way, all right, and let's
you know, maybe briefly talk about that.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Steve Sure, you know most people are flying a flag
that's tattered, torn, worn, dirty.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Don't let Steve Tam see that, and then he'll give
you an earfull.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Homeowners aren't sure what to do. They may throw it
in the trash. They may just let it continue to
fly in this ragged Captain hook.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
It's almost like a white piece of cloth at the
right time.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Right so that there is a serviceability to our United
States flag. And when you see it starting to tear
or it's becoming frayed, worn, faded out, pull it down,
put up a fresh one. But now what do I
do with the one I just retired? Great question. There
is a a description in many military manuals and the
(05:55):
Department of Defense of how we retire and dispose of
a flag. And that's done in a discrete ceremony, Brian.
It's not done by wearing it into a new pair
of shorts. We're not burning it in the front yard.
It is a small, discrete way. Matter of fact that
Claremont County veterans, we have a box where you can
(06:16):
I buy another hook to dispose of your worn flag,
and we will take care of that discrete flag ceremony
for you.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, and that's all what the flag retirement ceremony is
all about. And there are drop off locations all around.
It doesn't take much to find out where they are.
But make sure you just don't throw it in the trash.
I mean, it is absolutely it's a sign of disrespect.
And if you really truly have respect for the flag
as well, you should. You should take care of it
properly when it's reached the end of its life and
(06:44):
don't fly a tattered, worn flag that in and of
itself is a sign of disrespect. And that's the purpose
of retiring the flag. Why should we fly the flag?
I have one minds up all the time. Man. I
love driving into my driveway and see my flag hanging there,
right because.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Again, freedom it is. It is freedom. But there are
some caveat with that. If you were flying your flag
twenty four hours a day from dusk to dawn, she
should be illuminated. There should be lights illuminating her. Otherwise
we take it down at night. Yes, that is respectful.
It's not to be hanging out beside the tree. And
(07:22):
I guess they'll see it in the morning. So have
it illuminated at night. Many of these flag poles today
have this rechargeable battery and they shine down on the flag.
And that's the purpose, right.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
So I love my neighbors and all and people like
you that are standing for liberty, justice and freedom for all,
which is what that great flag stands for. The whole
world recognizes the United States flag.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They do. And you know what I pointed off off
air that you know, I think one of the tragedies,
if you can even call that, of the fall of
the Soviet Union, that was our moral barometer. That was
the country of breadlines and political prisoners and oppression and
outright murder of citizenry. You think about Stalin and all
the people that they killed. Because you know, good ideas
(08:13):
don't require force. Bad ideas require force. The flag represents
the antithesis of that.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
When you are taking a naval or model forward to
a foreign country. We see four pillars of power in
the United States or of any government, diplomacy, information, military,
and economic. When they see the military force off their
shores flying the United States flag, they know whose navy
(08:41):
and marines are on board. It is a show of
force and it is a force of strength because they
can recognize the flag that's flying.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And the accomplishments of the American military in the name
of freedom. I mean, we're not perfect. Nobody has analysis,
that's right, nobody is well trying. We're not going to
come there to How can you take you over and
force things upon you or lock you up for your
thoughts and beliefs.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It's freeing other citizens in other countries bring in diplomacy.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, I'd like to encourage all my listeners to if
you don't have a flag, why not get one?
Speaker 3 (09:14):
Why they're inexpensive. Matter of fact, if you need one
to fly, come see me in the Clarmont County Office.
I have one for you. Then you will fly respectfully
from a proper position in front of your house. But
I gotta say, Brian Flag Day June fourteenth is also
the Armies, my sisters and another service two hundred and
(09:35):
fiftieth birthday.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Is that a by centennial and a half. I don't
know how to count that. I'll just say two to fifty.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
It's an amazing accomplishment. And I read the article this
morning from the the head of the Defense Department. He
wrote a letter just sort of proudly letting everyone know
that the Army has already met its recruiting goals sixty
one thousand enlistees, four months ahead of schedule, and we
(10:02):
were behind for the last four years. Yes, no one
was signing up, and gee, I wonder why things have changed.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
When you look at the size of our Navy and
our Army, it takes an exceedingly large combine to bring
enough young men and women in to fill the ranks
for them to exceed this goal is a phenomenal effort
by the Army.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Good on them, Good on them, and good on you again.
Klamont County Veteran Service Commission. Amazing services they offer for
my veterans in the community. You need help with the
A benefits and the services, outreach programs, financial assistance. You
could just go down the line. It would take me
a couple of hours to get through it. All. You
need to talk to Steve and the good people to
the Claimont County Veteran Service Commission, and maybe even pick
(10:46):
up a flag if you don't have one. I'm very
kind of you to offer that and thank you again
for your service to our country. Steve. It's always a
pleasure seeing you and I'll be at the Union Cemetery
or the Union Civic Center, Union Township next Saturday. What
time is it start one one o'clock, so be there
and you can also witness how to properly dispose of
(11:07):
a flag. The Boy Scouts always show up and go
through that procedure and it's a pheenominal, wonderful event. Gentlemen,
take care great seeing you and proudly support the United
States flag or remember the freedom that it stands for. Ryan,
