The goal has been to have veterans visit classrooms, teach flag etiquette and history, and share their stories of service and what the flag means to them. The students will receive awards for their essays from veteran and community organizations, including the Veterans Club and the American Legion Post 354. Following the ceremony, a flag retirement&nbsp;ceremony will take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"560\" src=\"https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7bd648b6-fdb2-4e98-b0a9-61e333663cb8-1_all_2121-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7bd648b6-fdb2-4e98-b0a9-61e333663cb8-1_all_2121-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7bd648b6-fdb2-4e98-b0a9-61e333663cb8-1_all_2121-1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ontopoftheworldnews.com\/ocala\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/7bd648b6-fdb2-4e98-b0a9-61e333663cb8-1_all_2121-1-250x200.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo By: Charles Calhoun.
