American Legion Department of Kansas - District 2 American Legion Department of Kansas - District 2

The American Legion was chartered and incorporated by Congress in 1919 as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. It is the nation's largest wartime veterans service organization, committed to mentoring youth and sponsorship of wholesome programs in our communities, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting strong national security, and continued devotion to our fellow service-members and veterans.

Hundreds of local American Legion programs and activities strengthen the nation one community at a time. American Legion Baseball is one of the nation's most successful amateur athletic programs, educating young people about the importance of sportsmanship, citizenship and fitness. The Heroes to Hometowns program connects local Legionnaires with recovering wounded warriors and their families, providing a variety of support activities. The Legion raises millions of dollars in donations at the local, state and national levels to help veterans and their families and to provide college scholarship opportunities.

American Legion Post 250 will be hosting an official Flag Retirement Ceremony to properly and respectfully dispose of unserviceable United States flags, respectfully conducted by American Legion Department of Kansas - District 2

We invite members of our community to join us in honoring the flag and everything it stands for. If you have a worn or damaged flag, you are welcome to bring it for proper retirement.

Many people don’t realize that when a flag becomes worn, faded, or torn, it should no longer be displayed, but should be retired “in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” This tradition is not about destruction, it is about honor, respect, and reverence.

Why a burning ceremony?

Fire is used as a purifying element, symbolizing honor and renewal.
The ceremony ensures the flag is retired with dignity, rather than discarded. It allows the community to pause, reflect, and show respect for what the flag represents: freedom, sacrifice, and unity.

Each step of the ceremony is carried out with care, solemnity, and respect, accompanied by readings, salutes, and moments of silence.

📍 North End of Crestview Circle (northwest of Price Chopper)
📅 May 2nd
⏰ 9:00AM

Let us come together to pay tribute to the symbol of our nation in the respectful manner it deserves.

I talked about this at District Saturday. This morning as I sit on the back deck with my dog while she does her duty and the wind blows, I wanted to share with you. Will you Be the One? a little sharing for someone is only 5 minutes at the Dollar Store and a cold Veteran is worth every one of the 5.
