Rhode Island's Director of Veterans Affairs said Wednesday he was “speechless” after seeing photos of American flags strewn in a pile, one by a trash bin and one by a shed in a blatant violation of protocol, at a veterans cemetery in Exeter. Yarn said after the photos went public, the cemetery properly folded and burned the flags, and he put in place a new inspection process there. Procedures weren’t being followed,” state Veterans Affairs Director Kasim Yarn told WPRI. Officials say Americans should dispose of flags no longer fit for display, preferably by burning them.
