Flag Retirement Ceremony
Tuesday, May 1, 2018, 1 - 1:30 p.m.
Northeast end of Parking Lot C (at Prairie State College)
The U.S. flag code states that, “the flag, when it is in such condition that it is
no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably
by burning.” Join us as we respectfully retire worn United States Flags over an open
fire.
