Our VFW post, in partnership with American Legion post 32 conducted a Flag Retirement Ceremony on Saturday, 10/15/2022 at 2PM. Dillon, SC VFW Post 6091 and Dillon, SC American Legion Post 32 retired 20 tattered & faded U.S. flags.
Sergeant Gray & the Dillon HS US Army J ROTC department & The Dillon Girl Scouts were a very important part of the proceedings! We enjoy having our young citizens participating & learning these traditions!
Each flag was closely inspected and ceremoniously retired in memory of a named deceased Dillon Veteran and held over a burn pit as the flag yields its substance to the fire.

The entire ceremony was planned & conducted by Past Post Commander Lloyd Brown. He did a GREAT job!
Several family members and friends of those Veterans being memorialized with a flag, and others from the community were in attendance to see their loved one honored and witness the retirement ceremony.
A heartfelt Thank You to all who helped make our special event happen!
REMEMBER; WE DON'T FLY NO TATTERED FLAG!!!
Turn your tattered, torn, stained, or faded flag to any VFW or American Legion member for proper honorable retirement!
