Flag Retirement Ceremony at Christ the King - Las Vegas

THE PATRIOTIC ORDER OF KNIGHTS.
On November 15, 2020, Las Vegas Knights of Columbus Color Corps conducted an American Flag Retirement ceremony at Christ The King Catholic Church. The ranks of this Color Corps detail is comprised of several 4th Degree members from different KofC Assemblies, including Assy 3772 (Fr John Kenny), Assy 2820 (Fr Joseph O’Callahan), and Assy 3375 (Guardian Angel). Christ the King council 14144 hosted the event and State Chaplain, Fr Manny Guico gave the blessing.
This is the proper way to retire old worn out and unserviceable American Flags.
