Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags

The Code suggests that, “when a flag has served its useful purpose, it should be destroyed, preferably by burning.”  For individual citizens this should be done discreetly so that the act of destruction is not perceived as a protest or desecration.  Many American Legion posts conduct Disposal of Unserviceable Flag Ceremonies on June 14, Flag Day, each year.  This ceremony creates a particularly dignified and solemn occasion for the disposal of unserviceable flags.

The American Legion Groves-Walker Post 346 located at 31775 Grand River Avenue, Farmington, MI  just west of Orchard Lake Road will be performing this Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags on June 14, 2011 at 6:00 P.M.
