Strom Thurmond High NJROTC Cadets Serve Johnston Community, Members of American Legion Post 154 During Flag Retirement Ceremony
Johnston, SC - Cadets of the Strom Thurmond High School NJROTC unit recently served in various roles during a flag retirement ceremony hosted on Thursday, April 20, 2023, by members of American Legion Post 154.
An American flag deemed as no longer serviceable should always be properly folded and respectfully burned. The American Legion accepts flags from members of the public which are no longer able to be displayed and conducts flag retirement periodic ceremonies.
During the ceremony, which featured readings on the history of the American flag and the significance of the correct folding of the flag, Strom Thurmond High cadets raised the American flag on American Legion grounds, posted the colors during the ceremony and escorted flags for disposal.
