Flag Disposal
The Correct Way To Retire A Worn Or Damaged
United States of America Flag
The United States Flag Code requires that our 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 and preferably during a Disposal of Unserviceable Flags Ceremony.
Post 15 Flag Disposal Box
Any worn, damaged, or unserviceable United States of America flag, nicknamed “Old Gory”, can be placed into our Flag Drop Box outside of the Post building. All flags deposited there will routinely be collected, folded, stored, and during a disposal ceremony at a future time be respectfully retired in a way consistent with what is prescribed in the United States Flag Code.
