Annual American Flag Disposal ceremony for Dubois County this Friday, June 14th

The public and the local community are cordially invited to attend and participate in the Annual American Flag Disposal Ceremony for Dubois County.

The Dubois County Veterans Council (DCVC) will conduct the annual ceremony for disposing of worn, used, torn and unserviceable US American Flags on Friday, June 14th (FLAG DAY) at the Dubois County 4-H Fairgrounds, beginning promptly at 7:00 p.m./1900 hours.

The playing of patriotic songs, the National Anthem and the recitation of the “Pledge of Allegiance” will highlight the dignified and somber disposal ceremony. David Flynn, the current Commandant of The Marine Corps League and Jr. Vice Commander of VFW Post 673 and Brian Wigand, the President of the DCVC, will preside over the ceremony.

The public is asked to bring their unserviceable and worn/torn flags to the ceremony, or they can drop them off at their local veterans organization throughout the county.  Due to the number of Flags involved in this once-a-year event, their actual burning/disposal will continue after the solemn ceremony. 

We hope to see many of you there as we publicly honor one of our American symbols.
