2021 Flag Ceremony

In 2018 The Ohio State University established a tradition to annually refresh American flags across the Columbus campus. Teams of cadets, midshipmen and student veterans marched with military precision to replace new flags on every flagpole on campus. Old flags at buildings throughout campus were lowered and new ones were raised. The Major Lawrence Miller Veterans and Military Support Fund provided the flags. This years’ event was held on September 24, 2021. Thirty-four ROTC cadets, midshipmen, and student veterans volunteered to participate in the opening ceremony and replacement of 25 U.S. flags.
