Old Glory flag Retirement graphicAt PenAir Credit Union, we cherish the symbols of our nation’s pride and heritage. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a new initiative aimed at honoring our American flag in a meaningful and respectful way — the Old Glory Boxes.

What Are Old Glory Flag Retirement Boxes?

Old Glory Flag Retirement Boxes are specially designated collection points located at every PenAir branch. These boxes are designed to gather old, tattered, or retired American flags. Instead of discarding these flags, we provide a dignified way to retire them in accordance with the United States Flag Code.

The American flag holds profound significance as a symbol of our nation’s unity, ideals, and history. By participating in our Old Glory Flag Retirement initiative, you contribute to preserving the respect and honor that these symbols deserve. Your involvement ensures that each flag receives a proper retirement ceremony, maintaining the integrity of its symbolism.

Through initiatives like the Old Glory Flag Retirement Boxes, we demonstrate our dedication to honoring the symbols that unite us as Americans.
