American Flag Disposal Ceremony
Date: 9/11/09
Time: 6:30PM - 7:30PM
Location: MCUMC
Bring your unserviceable American flag to be properly disposed of at Mount Carmel United Methodist Church. We ask that the American flag be folded in the traditional way before the ceremony. If anyone needs assistance, please come early and Stephan will help you.
Procedures for Folding the Flag
There are no Flag Code provisions which require any method, however, the following is traditional:
(a) Straighten out the flag to full length and fold lengthwise once.
(b) Fold it lengthwise a second time to meet the open edge, making sure that the union of stars on the blue field remains outward in full view. (A large flag may have to be folded lengthwise a third time.)
(c) A triangular fold is then started by bringing the striped corner of the folded edge to the open edge.
