Flag Day Ceremony at Clifton Park This Afternoon

Sea Cliff, NY · June 14, 2026

The humidity is holding off for now, making it a perfect morning to walk down to the water before the clouds settle in. If you’re heading to the beach, remember that the summer parking regulations are in full effect as of this morning.

📰 The Lead

The James F. Brengel American Legion Post 456 is hosting its annual Flag Day observance this afternoon, a quiet and dignified village tradition. While many use the day to simply check their own porch displays, the ceremony at Clifton Park serves a specific civic purpose: the formal retirement of unserviceable flags. Over the past several months, residents have dropped off hundreds of worn, faded, or torn banners in the Legion’s collection boxes. Today, those flags are given a final, respectful send-off according to military protocol. The ceremony begins at 2:00 PM and offers a moment of reflection on local history and service. It is a brief but poignant gathering that brings together veterans and neighbors before the work week begins.
