2010 Flag Retirement Ceremony
 
The Orlando Scottish Rite
Masonic Center
Presents
the
 
2010 Flag Retirement Ceremony
 
We acknowledge those men and women of the United
States Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, as well
as the U.S. Coast Guard, Merchant Marines and National
Guard who have conducted themselves with unyielding
loyalty and dedication to the United States of America during
many long and arduous conflicts. You have fought
with valor and a great spirit of determination and pride
for your country.
We honor them as well as their families who have endured
great hardship and sacrifices in their efforts to thwart our
enemies naked aggression and tyranny; to keep our nation
free and safe.
To the memory of the soldiers from the great State of Florida
who have given their last full measure in the war on
terror, and to these men and women from our state who
were wounded in the valiant defense of our Republic and
the cause of freedom, today’s ceremony is dedicated.
 
MAY GOD BLESS THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES!!!
