Knights of Columbus To Host Flag Day Ceremony Aboard USS Yorktown

On Saturday, June 11th at 9 am, the Knights of Columbus (4^th Degree) will commemorate Flag Day (officially observed June 14th) by hosting a ceremony on the Flight Deck of the historic aircraft carrier USS Yorktown. 

Fourth Degree members of the Knights of Columbus are noted for the focus on Patriotism. “Sir Knights,” as they are addressed, support our members, community, military, veteran’s and Nation.

On Saturday, the group will retire and replace an American flag on the fantail of the USS Yorktown.  As part of this ceremony a short recitation will accompany each fold of the retired flag.

Visitors may view the ceremony in person aboard the Yorktown. Normal admission charges will apply.
