Flag Retirement is the term used to define the proper, dignified way of destroying United States flags that are no longer fit to serve the nation.
How do you know your flag should be retired? Sometimes your flag will only need to be cleaned to restore its original appearance. Regular cleaning of your flag can extend its life considerably. Flags can be machine-washed with a mild detergent in cold water. Flags should be hung to dry or laid flat. Do not fold a damp flag.
What if my flag is no longer serviceable? Flags may be left at drop boxes in the Townhouse Restaurant and Ace Hardware downtown Oviedo or by leaving them neatly on the shelf by our front door.
