Charles Burgess, left, and Joshua Hight, Mississippi State students and members of Air Force ROTC Honor Guard, fold a worn U.S. flag Friday during a flag retirement service on the university's Drill Field. The ceremony that formally retired worn, faded or unserviceable American flags also showed public support for U.S. troops serving throughout the world.
