Flag Restoration Project
Share
This project is to replace old and dilapidated flags and repair or retire them properly. This page is page is to notify us of flags that need recovered.
Liam Willcox a 7th grader, 12 years old, has an eye for flags. He started pointing out tattered and torn flags and wanted to replace them. Working with the VFW Post 2153 we take donations of flags and money to purchase flags through the American Legion and Liam goes around changing out flags and retiring the old ones. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHERE YOU SEE TATTERED FLAGS!

The years have flown by and Liam has retired from Flag Restoration Project. He never spent a penny of the donations on himself, and in fact never even asked for a single donation, but so many people felt compelled to support his efforts that donations came in and this nonprofit had to be formed.
Liam is 19 and attending Iowa State University. The monies collected were distributed amount several other nonprofits, such as VFWs, and Honor Flight.

Our flag retiring ceremony today was canceled due to the heat, does anyone know of another where we can retire the flag restoration flags? Did Arsenal island already have theirs?
