A flag raised earlier in the day, was lowered at sunset to the playing of Taps, folded and then passed down a line of dignitaries.
Boy Scout Troop 79 Eagle Scout David Laverty, whose final scout project was the erecting of the flag pole used in the ceremony, passed the folded and retired flag to WWII combat veteran Jack Kreider, who passed it to Vietnam combat veteran and Troop 79 Scoutmaster John Laughlin, and then down a line which included OCPD & OCFD members, followed by local Legionaires.
Flag Day was officially established by the Proclamation of President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. President Truman signed an Act of Congress designating June 14 of each year as National Flag Day.
