" Ceremoniously Destroying the American Flag

 

Protocol on Retiring  the American Flag

 

 

The proper way to dispose of worn American Flags
 

 
  Laws of the United States state: "When the flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning".  
     
     
     
 


To submit a flag for ceremonious destruction by burning mail your flag to:  Sorry but this Lodge no longer has the facilities for disposing of US Flags and has stopped accepting flags for disposal

 

 
  The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks is a non-profit charitable organization and donations are appreciated.
