PenAir Credit Union Launches "Old Glory" Program to Honor Retired American Flags

PenAir Credit Union (PenAir) is proud to announce the launch of its "Old Glory" flag retirement program, a new initiative dedicated to the respectful retirement of old, worn, or tattered American flags. Community members are encouraged to bring their retired flags to any PenAir branch to ensure flags are retired with the honor they deserve.

"Our American flag holds profound significance as a symbol of our nation's heritage,” said Lee Morgan, President and CEO of PenAir. “With the Old Glory Box program, we aim to preserve the respect and honor these symbols deserve. We invite the community to join us in this meaningful endeavor and help uphold the values of respect, dignity, and patriotism."

Participation in the Old Glory Box program is simple:

  1. Visit any PenAir branch.

  2. Deposit your retired American flags into the designated Old Glory Boxes or give them to

    a PenAir branch team member.

  3. PenAir will handle each flag with the utmost care and ensure it is retired in accordance

    with the United States Flag Code.
