Flag ceremoney on May 27th
The Forgotten Warriors conducted the Flag Ceremony with Marvin Hume at Sunset Beach, Cape May Point. The flag ceremony* is a daily event at the beach honoring those who gave it all serving their country. This one was special as the flag was a veterans casket flag that when lowered will be flown at the FW museum. Echo Taps was played by ????
*The lowering of the American flag is a 40 year tradition and Marvin Hume has been at the mast for 32 of those years. A american flag lowering ceremony highlights the sunset over the Sunken Concrete Ship “Atlantis” which has set on the beach there for over 50 years. Constructed of concrete during World War 1 because of a shortage of steel, She was soon decommissioned because of her weight and slow speed. Towed to Cape May to be used as a loading platform for a ferry service she broke her moorings during a storm on June 8th, 1926, and beached in the spot where she now lies. Efforts to free the ship were unsuccessful and she still greets the sunsets on the beach with the millions of visitors that have come to sunset beach over the years.
