A ceremony where flags are raised, usually accompanied by the national anthem of the country of the flag that is being raised.

I am present at Flag Ceremony..
As I have been researching the proper way to conduct a flag retirement ceremony, I have come across many ways to perform the ceremony. All of them burn the flag as per U.S. code. Some cremonies say the field of blue should be cut from the flag thus rendering it no longer a flag. Most ceremonies do not cut the flag before burning. It is my opinion, as a retired Master Sgt with over 20 years in military service and as a disabled veteran, that as long as the flag is being properly retired by fire and that it is done with honor there is nothing wrong with saving and displaying the field of blue.
Never throw away a flag! When a flag is no longer of dignified appearance and cannot be repaired, or when a flag is so worn or soiled that it is no longer suitable for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified manner, preferably by burning. In military parlance, it is consigned to the flames in a brief ceremony. Source:thenewamerican.com
