Chico community partners of VFW post 1555, Chico Elks Lodge 423, Scout troop 1555, Chico Honor guard and Chico Area Recreations District(CARD) participated in the retirement of about 350 synthetic fiber American Flags. We hope to continue flag retirements at this site for many years to come on the morning of Sunday during flag week at the Veterans Memorial Park in Chico CA

Ceremony was opened by the Chico Honor Guard who posted the colors. Jason Rose VFW member performed MC duties. Lela Waggoner performed a beautiful rendition of the National Anthem. The Elks lodge performed the "A Brief History of the American Flag". Troop 1555 inspected, folded and placed to flags to be retired into hand built wooden boxes provided by VFW post 1555 and build by John Hancock, Elks lodge #423. Scott Schumann(CARD) renamed Wildwood Park to Veterans Memorial Park. Ceremony was closed with the retirement of the Colors performed by Chico Honor Guard.

A great many thanks are in order to all those who participated in making this happed.

Here is a list, I hope no-one was left out
