170614-N-UD469-078 BANGOR, Wash. (June 14, 2017) Electronics Technician (Navigation) 1st Class Mark Keim, assigned to the Trident Training Facility in Bangor, Wash., renders a salute after placing the remains of a U.S. flag into a fire during a flag retirement ceremony at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor. When a U.S. flag becomes worn, torn, faded, or badly soiled, it should be retired with the dignity and respect befitting it. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Amanda R.
