On Sunday, September 25, 2022, American Legion Post 328 conducts our Flag Retirement Ceremony, at the Veterans Memorial Park, W. High Street, Morrison, IL. Flags that were deposited into our Flag Drop Box throughout the year are burned. The start time is 12:30 p.m. In the event of inclement weather, the event will be postponed until Sunday, September 24, 2023.
Flags also are accepted on the day of the ceremony, as long as we receive them in time to not disrupt the event. Everyone is invited to attend this short, but impressive, ceremony. Lawn chairs are encouraged. In 2021, we burned 307 flags.
Be our guest at the Ice Cream Social at the Post, 306 E. Main Street, Morrison, following the ceremony.
