Plainfield Marne Post 13 is a U.S. Flag drop off site.  Outside our side door in the front we currently have 2 wood boxes that were made by our Eagle Scouts.  Flags that are placed inside that are worn or tattered will then be retired as part of an Eagle Scout project at the Plainfield American Legion.
