The speech can be used at flag retirement ceremonies or community celebrations.

Flag Day, June 14, commemorates the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for the first national flag. On this day, American Legion posts often hold a flag retirement ceremony or participate in community celebrations. A Flag Day speech is available for Legionnaires to use during these events.

And at 7 p.m. EDT on June 14 is the annual Pause for the Pledge. 

The American Legion wants to hear how your post is honoring Flag Day. Please share on legiontown.org.
