Flag Day 2015

  • One of our ways we give back to our community is by helping the Rotary Club post flags all over our town. Last year we held our own flag education class on flag day with a special flag retirement ceremony to close it out. 
  • This year our Troop has decided to attend a rather large flag retirement ceremony in Dallas, this event is open to the public and all Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts are invited to attend in their uniforms and help with the ceremony. 
  • Here are the details - 
  • Flag Pole Hill Park at 1:00 pm 
  • E. Northwest Hwy at Buckner

    Celebrate Flag Day this June 14th by attending a public flag retirement ceremony. Bring any old worn flags (national or state) to the ceremony for retirement in a dignified and respectful manner.

    Sponsored by http://www.Oldwornflag.com, the Dallas Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution and the East Fork-Trinity Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution with several other community organizations in attendance. The Lone Star Chapter of the Paralyzed Veterans of America will present a live rifle volley.

    Join your neighbors as we commemorate the adoption of the flag of the United States and properly retire old, worn flags that are no longer suitable to be displayed.
