The American Legion Post #328 in Morrison, IL, will perform The Ceremony for Disposal of Unserviceable Flags, pursuant to Resolution 440 of The American Legion, on Sunday, June 26, 2016, at Kiwanis Park. Kiwanis Park is on Norrish Road between Orange Street and Genesee Street, northwest of Grove Hill Cemetery. The Ceremony will begin at 2:00 p.m.
Currently Post #328 has over 400 flags to dispose of and will accept unserviceable flags during the ceremony and all year long. The Ceremony is very formal for a few moments and then very relaxed. All Post members and participants are very respectful of our flag. All visitors are welcome.
The American Legion Post #328 sells new American-made United States Flags for a nominal fee of $20.
It is important to note that Legionnaires from Post #328 are available to assist and/or perform the whole project of displaying the American Flag at no cost (less materials) for all groups.
As stated by Commander Dale Usterbowski, “Our thoughts are, the more American Flags on display the better.”
