Sullivan American Legion Senior Vice Commander Mike Daily retires a flag during the American Legion’s annual Flag Retirement Ceremony. This year, nearly one-thousand flags were collected for retirement.

On Sunday, June 14th (Flag Day), members of the Sullivan American Legion Post No.68 and the Sullivan Boy Scouts Troop 39 conducted their annual Flag Retirement Ceremony at the Sullivan American Legion. This year, close to one-thousand flags were collected for retirement at this Flag Day ceremony, with friends and family members, as well as others in the community, attending the ceremony, placing flags on the fire in honor and memory of friends and loved ones who served. For those who have not attended this ceremony before, it imparts deep reverence, respect, and fraternity and reminds us that our nation’s flag symbolizes the history, sacrifice, and shared identity of all. The flag retirement ceremony is treated as a final tribute.
