About

Flags For Our Heroes celebrates our heroes, living and deceased, in a touching tribute to the people who mean the most to us. Memorial Day weekend a Field of Honor located at Memorial Park shimmers with more American flags fluttering in the gently warming Spring breezes. The flags are sponsored by corporations and individuals who want to honor their heroes.

Each flag bears the name of the sponsor and the sponsor’s hero on a information tag honoring the hero.

The flags fly for a variety of heroes: The men and women who are serving or have served as members of the military. Police Officers. Firefighters. First Responders. Parents. Teachers. Coaches. Mentors. Community Leaders. They fly for all the people who have made a difference in our lives.

Rows of American flags flying in the Spring breeze outline Memorial Park and transform it into a hallowed space to recognize the deceased and thank the living. For some visitors, it is a place of contemplation and for everyone, it becomes a place of reflection for the people have been the heroes in our lives.

The Event will end with a concert sponsored by the Memorial Park Association celebrating 100 Years of the Park’s founding in 1924. The Concert is planned for Memorial Day, May 27th, from 5PM to 8PM.
