Carson City to conduct U.S. flag retirement ceremony Flag Day at fire station

At the formal U.S. flag retirement ceremony, dignitaries, veterans, and other guests, will witness the ceremonial burning of a U.S. flag in honor of our country and what our flag stands for.
Guests can park at the Carson City Airport located at 2600 College Parkway. A JAC shuttle will be available to transport guests to and from the ceremony. Limited handicapped parking is available next to Station 52.
The United States Flag Code establishes advisory rules for display and care of the flag of the United States. Included in these rules is guidance regarding the proper disposal of U.S. flags which are unfit for display. The preferred method for disposal (known as retirement) is burning.
