Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the Stars and Stripes. The community is invited to attend this annual observation and flag retirement ceremony in partnership with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 6024 Honor Rifle Squad and local Scout units.
The annual Flag Day retirement ceremony will be held Friday, June 14, at 7:30 p.m. outside the Bell Tower near Central Park. The ceremony is held to properly destroy—by burning—worn, damaged, or otherwise unserviceable American Flags in a dignified manner in accordance with The United States Flag Code, which reads: As a revered symbol of freedom and justice, the flag of the United States of America needs to be treated with the utmost respect. This respect extends to the flag's eventual retirement and destruction.
Worn or unserviceable flags can be disposed of properly throughout the year in the flag box receptacle located in the lobby of the Bell Tower Regional Community Center.
Call Community Services at (949) 216-9700 for more information.
