Located in Elkhart, Indiana, Simonton Lake Vacation Rentals hosted a magnificent Flag
Retirement Ceremony on the 4th of July weekend. The event is specially recognized and done to
pay tribute to the iconic American flag and its enduring symbol of service. The primary theme of
the celebration is to acknowledge the well and long service of the flag and declare its worn
condition 'due' to continue representing the nation. A single flag is used in the event to represent
all other service flags being retired on the day. The ceremony has been an inherent act in the
American Legion ritual since it was outlined and passed by the 19th National Convention of the
American Legion in 1937.

national unity songs.

Flag Retirement with Dignity

Only one flag represented all other flags dedicated to the service. Two color guards were
involved, one representing the presently used flag and another unique color symbolizing the
service retired flag. Before sunset, the flying flag received its final tribute and was retired
following the standard ceremonial procedure.

mark the communal patriotism in Elkhart, Indiana, and the entire America. The attendees from
different backgrounds gathered respectfully to demonstrate patriotism by singing ‘God Bless
America’ as a memorial service, saluting and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the national
flag.

Final Tribute
The final procedure of the ceremony involved the special folding of the retired flag in a
customary triangle and delivering it to the team leader. He then carefully placed the flag in the
fire, and the audience awaited in silence until the fire completely consumed the flag. The final
tribute served as a reminder to value, cherish, and protect the foundation of the American spirit:
unity and freedom. Having been successful and adorable, the ‘Simonton Lake Vocational Rentals
