Flag Retirement Ceremony
"When a flag is so worn it is no longer fit to serve as a symbol of our country, it should be destroyed by burning in a dignified manner."
U.S. FLAG CODE
The Ellington Patriotic Committee, in association with the Ellington Volunteer Fire Department, BSA Troop 96, and many local merchants, conducts a retirement service each year on or near Flag Day, to properly dispose of soiled, damaged, and worn National Flags.
