This Ceremony shows the correct way to retire unserviceable flags with dignity and honor, the public is invited and there is no charge. The Ceremony will be held outside, and chairs will be provided. Also, refreshments will be provided after the Ceremony is over.

We dedicate this flag to all men and women who have served our great country and our flag during war and peace to provide us with the freedom and liberty that we have. We have the greatest nation on earth because veterans, men and women, sacrificed their time, limbs, and lives to keep it that way!
