Flag Retirement
Flag Retirement & Masonic Community Service Awards Event Scheduled for June 8th, 2019
Combined with the dignity and solemnity required by the flag code to respectfully dispose of worn American flags the officers and members of J. B. Covert Lodge will partner with a local Boy Scout Troop and accept flags from around the community for this unique event. Through the course of a short ceremony the flags are dutifully retired under the watchful eye of the Scouts.
The event also includes a brief historical perspective on the nature of the ceremony and the indissoluble linkage between these two organizations.
The event is open to the public and includes a lunch.
This year’s event will be held on June 8th, 2019 and will begin at 10:30 AM on the steps of J. B. Covert Masonic Temple located at 848 Clough Pike in Union Township, Ohio.
