what is flag raising and flag retreat
Raising a flag over the Reichstag was created in 1945.
Retreat is played during the lowering of the colors(flag). TAPS(Lights Out) is not.
Flag retreat is a ceremonial event that symbolizes the end of the day and the respectful lowering of the national flag. It often takes place at military bases, national monuments, or during formal ceremonies, serving as a tribute to the sacrifices made by service members. The ritual reinforces national pride and unity, while also honoring the flag as a symbol of the country’s values and history.
The only records I have found are still photos. If you have a copy of Flags of Our Fathers by James Bradley, there are photos of the stages of the flag raising. (lowering of one as the second was raised to the photo that caused the sensation)
The sickle and hammer was the flag of the Soviet Union and the swastika the flag of Nazi Germany.
Raising the Flag at Ground Zero was created in 2001.
Raising a flag over the Reichstag was created in 1945.
no
Retreat is played for the lowering of the colors (FLAG).
Retreat.
If you mean the raising of the flag as show by the statue in Arlington, Virginia, that would be the battle of Iwo Jima.
(WRONG)In the evening when the flag is lowered. TAPS is not played when the colors are lowered, that is called retreat. Reveille is played in the morning during the raising of the colors. Usually about 2200 HOURS (Lights Out) TAPS is played. ---------------- At evening retreat, there are two bugle calls played in succession: "Retreat" then "To The Colors" As already correctly stated "Taps" is played at lights out.
I think after the flag is risen we said the pledge.
