Flag Day

Flag Day celebrates the adoption of the American flag that Americans see flying every day. To help pay respect to the flag and its significance, Fort Concho will be helping in the proper disposal of retired American flags. The process will follow the U.S. Flag Code. “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” On June 14th, please bring your retired flags to Barracks one or that evening from 6 PM to 8 PM and we will properly dispose of them. If you would like to assist in the proper retiring of your flag, please join us in the evening outside of Barracks 1. (Please note if your flag is made of cotton or polyester. Disposal of flags depends on the materials it is made of.)
