Make sure everyone knows their part in the ceremony. This will help insure things go well. Make sure all precautions are taken that would normally be done when a campfire is set. And last, Beware of the flag material. Some flags will melt rather than burn, others will flare up when touched by flames.
Campfires are often the main place flags are retired.
Some units have built special burning bins to retire large flags and large quantity of flags. Below are a few ceremonies that I have collected. If you have any flag retirement ceremonies that you would like posted or linked to, please e-mail me the information. This page hosted by Get your own Free Home Page .
