RAQUETTE LAKE – JULY 4TH

American Legion Honors Nation on Independence Day in Inlet & Raquette Lake: Post #1402 Veterans Will Raise Military Service Flags, Conduct Retired American Flag Disposal Ceremony, and Commemorate New Banner Display

 On July 4th, American Legion’s Leonard-Mick-Roberts Post #1402 will raise their military service flags at Legion Square in Inlet at 9:30am. The brief ceremony will include a bit of U.S. flag history, courtesies, and military flag order of precedence.

The Post honors the service and sacrifices of members of the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Space Force, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marines, by flying their service flags at Legion Square. In addition, they display the POW/MIA flag.

After the flag raising in front of the Town Hall, the Post will perform their annual retired American flag disposal ceremony at 10:30am at Fern Park in Inlet.

At 1:00pm, the Post will commemorate a new banner display at the Raquette Lake Veterans Memorial, in front of the Raquette Lake Library. The display honors the Post’s namesake members: Philo E. Leonard, Vincent J. Mick, and Charles E. Roberts Jr., local youths who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms during World War Two.

Enjoy fireworks over Raquette Lake on July 4th at Dusk!
