The flag retirement ceremony is a solemn, dignified event to dispose of worn-out U.S. flags, treating them as symbols of the nation by respectfully folding and burning the flags, the Pledge of Allegiance, and Taps to honor the flag's service and sacrifice. This Veterans of Foreign Wars event ensures the flag's symbolism of freedom and unity remains honored even in its final disposal, with burning often done in a wood fire or barrel, followed by burying the ashes.  Please come and join us for this important event.
