PRESS RELEASE

 

 

American Legion Post 301 and VFW Post of Austintown Host Annual Flag Day Retirement Ceremony

 

AUSTINTOWN, OHIO - The American Legion Post 301 of Austintown and the VFW Post of Austintown are proud to announce their joint effort in hosting the annual Flag Day Retirement Ceremony this Saturday, June 15th, 2024. This event serves as a gracious way of retiring worn-down American flags and educating the community about the importance of this solemn occasion.

 

The Flag Day Retirement Ceremony is a solemn event where old and worn American flags are respectfully retired in accordance with the U.S. Flag Code. This code states that when the flag is no longer a fitting emblem to display, it should be retired in a dignified manner, preferably by burning.

 

This event aims to raise awareness about the significance of properly retiring American flags and to educate the community about the proper protocol. It is an opportunity for residents to participate in a respectful ceremony that honors the sacrifices and ideals that the flag represents.

 

The American Legion Post 301 of Austintown and the VFW Post of Austintown extend their gratitude to the community for their continuous support and participation in this meaningful event. Together, let us demonstrate our commitment to honoring the flag and its symbolism.

 

The Flag Day Retirement Ceremony will take place on Saturday, June 15th 2024, at Veterans Park, located on Wickliff Circle, directly across from Fire Station #2 on Mahoning Ave. The event will begin at 8:30 am. The ceremony is open to all residents of Austintown and surrounding areas. Attendees are encouraged to bring their worn American flags for retirement. Trained volunteers will ensure that each flag is treated with the utmost respect and solemnity. The retiring process involves a ceremonial burning, conducted with reverence and care.
