Do You Have An American Flag That Requires Disposal?

The Stone Creek Veterans Association collects worn and torn American flags from all Stone Creek residents and takes them to the Marion County Veterans Memorial Park for disposal by burning with honor.

A collection container is available in the Reunion Center lobby and at our Memorial Day and Veterans Day celebrations OR you can contact either of the Project Leaders listed below by phone or email and arrange for them to pick up your unserviceable flag at your house.
