The Mandarin Community Club will once again host a Flag Retirement ceremony with SAR (Sons of the American Revolution) along with members of DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) on Sunday, Feb. 18 at 3 p.m.
The partnership between the organizations began years ago as a way to ensure that American flags were collected and properly retired with respect. Members of SAR present a unique and moving educational program that traces the origin of the American flag from its earliest days to the present. The SAR group takes hundreds of flags that the community club collects throughout the year at a collection box at its site on Mandarin Road that was designed, constructed and installed by Eagle Scout Patrick Setzer. Flags that are worn, tattered or damaged should not be flown and should be properly retired.
The public is invited to attend and witness this solemn ceremony and share in this patriotic duty of the retirement of many US flags.
