Flag Day Ceremony

Saturday, June 13 at 9 a.m. the Knights of Columbus (4^th Degree) will commemorate Flag Day (officially observed June 14) by hosting a ceremony on the Flight Deck of the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown.

Fourth Degree members of the Knights of Columbus are noted for their focus on Patriotism.  Known as “Sir Knights,” they support members of the community, veterans, and active-duty military.   Saturday, the group will retire and replace an American Flag on the USS Yorktown.   A short recitation will accompany each fold of the retired flag.

The ceremony will be streamed live on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/patriotspoint.org.  Visitors may view the ceremony in person aboard the Yorktown, however, necessary admission charges will apply.
