Retire Worn American Flags Properly
Flag Day is an official observance in honor of the star-spangled banner that represents our country. One hundred years ago, then-President Woodrow Wilson established June 14 as a chance to "rededicate ourselves to the nation," as he wrote in his proclamation. He wanted Americans to take Flag Day to leave behind "every thought that is not worthy of our fathers' first vows in independence, liberty, and right" and instead "stand with united hearts, for an America which no man can corrupt, no influence draw away from its ideals, no force divide against itself."
Please retire and dispose of any worn, torn, and/or tattered U.S. flag properly. The flags in need of proper disposal may be dropped at the Grapevine VFW, 221 North Main Street.
