Flag Retiring Ceremony.


Today was a special day in K-Seven history! We
raised a new American flag and had a traditional flag retiring ceremony for our old flag! According to US code an American flag is to be retired when it is faded, torn and no longer fit for display.

We lowered the old flag while singing "God Bless America" then raised our brand new flag reciting the pledge of allegiance once it was raised. Two of our own staff, 2nd Lt. Monplaisir and Officer Bowen, dressed in their full uniforms, led the ceremony and explained to staff and kampers the procedures for a proper retirement and how to dispose of an old flag in an honorable and dignified manor!

Kampers and staff alike were honored to be a part of this special ceremony!
