Arp Community Events

We’ve had several people ask how the flags placed in our Flag Retirement Box at the Arp Veterans Memorial are being retired. Now you can see the process for yourself.

Come join Arp’s Royal Rangers as they conduct a flag disposal ceremony honoring our American Flags.
They will perform a respectful, faith‑centered Flag Retirement Ceremony to properly retire the worn and tattered flags donated by our community.

It’s a meaningful opportunity to witness how each flag is honored with dignity, prayer, and gratitude for the veterans it represents.

Will post update as soon as date is confirmed.
