Special thanks to Kevin Shannahan for capturing these great images of the Inaugural John Masson Flag Retirement Ceremony. This collaborative effort was made possible by the Natchitoches VFW, American Legion, BSA Netami District, Troop 60 and the Natchitoches Lions Club.

The event was attended by Mayor Ronnie Williams, Natchitoches Council Member and Mayor Pro Temp Betty Smith, Senator Louie Bernard and Sheriff Stuart Wright who presented Scouts with their memorial star.

The ceremony was also attended by scouts parents and families.
