Cherokee Nation Industries hosts VFW flag retiring ceremony
STILWELL, Okla. – Stilwell’s Jim Maxwell VFW Post held a flag retiring ceremony recently to honor those living and deceased who have fought to defend the freedoms of the United States. The ceremony was held at Cherokee Nation Industries’ north facility on state highway 59.
“This is our tribute to the flag, which is the highest symbol of our great nation,” said Ricky Vansyckle, Stilwell VFW troop commander and employee of CNI. “Retiring the flag is not only a tribute to our Nation’s symbol, but it is also a tribute to those who have served, and are serving, to protect this nation and the freedoms we hold so dear.”
The Stilwell VFW holds the ceremony to honor the service of veterans and educate the community on how to properly retire an unserviceable flag. Holding the ceremony at CNI was particularly special to the workers for several reasons. When CNI was founded in 1969, their first manufacturing location was at the former VFW building. From that building and several more through the years, CNI has manufactured equipment used extensively by the United States’ defense programs.
“I believe it was a perfect fit to hold the ceremony at CNI,” said Bryan Collins, Chief Executive Officer for CNI. “Many of the products we manufacture support the people who defend our freedom. The Cherokee Nation is committed to serving and honoring the ones who serve our country, so I believe this was the perfect opportunity for our employees to take time and give appreciation to our veterans.”
