Flag Day Retirement Ceremony

June 14, 2018 

The United Sates Flag Code provides uniform guidelines for the display of and respect shown to the flag.

The U.S. Flag Code states that, “the flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” Thus, when a flag is torn and tattered beyond repair, it’s time for it to be retired.
