| Our Post's Honor Flag program was started because many families have their loved one's burial flags stored in their attics or someplace our of the way unsure of what to do with them. This program allows the family of a deceased veteran to have their loved one's flag flown right in the center of Yorktown where all can see and appreciate their military service. After the flag has been flown for a three week period the family can witness the ceremony as their flag is lowered and folded with ceremony. The families then can have their flag returned to them or the flag can be included in our Yorktown Post's flag retirement ceremony usually held in June of each year. During 2019 eight veterans were honored in this way at Jack DeVito Veterans Memorial Track and Field. |
