SOUTH SALT LAKE, Ut. Lejune Timmerman says she had no other choice as she used Old Glory to fend off an unknown attacker in the front yard of her South Salt Lake, Utah home. He beat up my two big brothers, Timmerman, 73, said Wednesday. The only way I could stop him was take my old flag pole and stick him and hit him with it, Timmerman said. By damn, he let my brothers go!After the man hit Timmerman and attempted to strangle her, he barged inside the house.

Monday was Veteran's Day, and of course, service members fight for our freedom and flag. But there is a proper way to retire "Old Glory." Danielle Alexander, a Boy Scout Senior Community Liason, and Butch Johnstone, a Scout Master, came to the Daytime Blue Ridge studio to talk about an upcoming retirement ceremony.
