Schedule and Ceremony

Over the last 2 weeks the scouts have hammered out quite a nice flag retirement ceremony. They've taken parts and pieces from the military ceremony and scout ceremonies.
We've also hammered out a 'doable' schedule...this is a temporary schedule. The final schedule will be dependent on the flight schedule.
Not all of the locations have been solidified yet...this is basically our hopes laid out for all to see.
If you know of a more 'ceremony' friendly monument/park/area in any of these cities please send us a comment so we can check into it.

Thanks so much for the help of our Portland contacts who steered us toward the barracks at Ft. Rilea and the grounds of Ft. Stevens for a dusk ceremony. Sounds very cool and we're really excited about it...the only beach-side ceremony at sundown that we'll be doing. Should be very stunning.
