The St. Clair County Department of Veterans Affairs is inviting the community to their annual U.S. Flag Retirement Ceremony on Wednesday, August 25th at 6 PM. The event takes place at the American Legion Post 382 at 1322 Clinton Avenue in St. Clair.
The “It’s Your Flag” ceremony involves the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 382, the Sons of the American Legion Squadron 382, and scouts from Boy Scout Troop 315, Cub Scout Pack 261, and Boy Scout Troop 261.
Those wishing to dispose of worn, torn, faded, and unserviceable American flags can deliver them to the American Legion Post before the event so they can be properly and respectfully disposed of at the ceremony.
Flags can be placed in the flag receptacle at the rear of the building, and the St. Clair County Department of Veterans Affairs will be present to ensure flags that have been collected at the St. Clair County Administration building in Port Huron are properly disposed of as well.
