 HILTON HEAD, S.C. / Aug. 6, 201 – Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties was honored to offer area residents and businesses an opportunity to retire their faded, worn or torn American flags with dignity during the month of July.
“People often struggle with how to properly retire an American flag,” said Karen Ryan, the broker/co-owner of Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties. “That’s why we decided to partner with a local veterans group and fire department to help collect weathered flags from area residents and businesses.”

“We truly appreciate the effort put forth by our friends at Weichert, Realtors® – Coastal Properties to help us retire the greatest symbol of hope and freedom, the American flag, with dignity,” said representatives from the Sun City Veterans Association in Bluffton and the city’s fire department. “We can’t thank them enough for all they did with this flag retirement campaign.”
