Sailors from the U.S.S. Constitution prepare to fold the flag during last year’s Flag Retirement Ceremony at Ridgelawn Cemetery.
Watertown’s veterans groups will hold a flag retirement ceremony to mark Flag Day on June 14.
Last year, the town held a Flag Day ceremony for the first time in many years.
During the event, flags that have become worn or tattered will be retired and incinerated during a special ceremony involving Watertown’s veterans.
The ceremony will be held at Ridgelawn Cemetery on Thursday, June 14, 2018, beginning at 6:00 p.m., said Watertown Veterans’ Agent Mark Comeiro.
“This event is open to the public as it would be an honor to have the residents of Watertown attend this prestigious and very special event,” Comeiro said.
