FLAG RETIREMENT CEREMONY

Our Boy Scout Troop is conducting Flag Retirement Ceremonies in your area. We would appreciate it if you could help get the word out to as many veterans as possible at the
Ohio Veteran’s Home, Sandusky OH – Saturday June 12th @ 9AM. We will be at the pavilion. This will be followed up with a trip out to Lake Erie to dispose of the ashes as requested by the city of Sandusky. Due to the influx of visitors that weekend (Sandusky’s Bike Week) the city is considering a police escort from the OHV to Lake Erie.
TRIP DETAILS:
On our way back from lowering the flag at Mount Rushmore our Scouts came up with an idea on how they can honor veterans around the U.S. They came up with S.C.O.U.T.S C2C – Scouts Commemorating Our Units Troops & Soldiers from Coast to Coast. We will be traveling around the country conducting Flag Retirement Ceremonies for our Veterans and Active Duty Soldiers. Between our Ohio and Texas stops we will be in DC where we will participate in the Flag Day celebrations at Ft McHenry as well as the Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.
