US Flag Retirement Ceremony

About the US Flag Retirement Ceremony

Welcome to River Oaks Church, a community-focused organization committed to bringing people together through faith and belief. As part of our dedication to honor and respect the American Flag, we proudly host an annual US Flag Retirement Ceremony. This important event recognizes the significance of retiring old and worn-out flags in a manner that upholds their dignity and respect.

Why is Flag Retirement Important?

The American Flag is not just a piece of cloth; it represents the values, sacrifices, and principles that our great nation was built upon. Over time, flags can become faded, torn, or tattered due to exposure to the elements. Properly retiring these flags ensures they are disposed of in a dignified manner, paying tribute to their symbolism and meaning.

Process of Flag Retirement

At River Oaks Church, we adhere to the guidelines and protocols recommended by the United States Flag Code when conducting the Flag Retirement Ceremony. This ensures that our process is respectful, solemn, and in accordance with proper flag disposal procedures.

During the ceremony, community members gather to witness the retirement of worn-out flags. Each flag is carefully inspected, folded, and placed into a specially designated container. The container is then given a final salute, paying homage to the flag's service and the principles it represents.
