Decision Tactical in Sanford to host American Flag Retirement Ceremony on National Flag Day

HEROES STRONG presents 7th annual celebration honoring heroes.

HEROES STRONG and Decision Tactical have joined forces to host the 7th Annual American Flag Retirement Ceremony and Celebration on June 14, a powerful evening to honor our nation, our flag, and those who serve.

This free community event at Decision Tactical, 430 Towne Center Cir Suite A, Sanford, brings together military members, veterans, first responders, educators, medical professionals, dispatchers, and their families for an unforgettable patriotic tribute.

Witness a special flyover by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, as well as the respectful and meaningful retirement of worn American flags, while showing support for our everyday heroes.

One Blood will be on-site from 3 to 8 p.m. in honor of World Blood Donor Day offering a meaningful way for attendees to give back by donating blood. Attendees are also encouraged to wear red, white, and blue.

Flags in need of retirement can be dropped off now through June 14. For drop-off locations, click here.

Honoring A Local Hero

During this event, Decision Tactical is also partnering with local nonprofits to raise funds for a new headstone for Sergeant First Class Alwyn C. Cashe of Seminole County to properly display his Medal of Honor. The effort aims to ensure that SFC Cashe's heroism is permanently honored.
