The Rotary Clubs of Wicomico County proudly present Flags for Heroes, a project designed honor heroes in our community while supporting local veteran causes and Rotary's community projects including scholarships, wheelchair ramps and food distribution. Who is your hero? Examples include: a family member, a friend, a veteran, a member of the armed services, a favorite teacher, a police officer, a firefighter, or any other person who has made an impact in your life.
The "Field of Heroes" will be a spectacular visual display of American flags, measuring 3' x 5', standing 8 feet tall, in the highly visible location on the corner of Route 50 and Hobbs Road in Salisbury, next to Arthur W. Perdue Stadium. In the two weeks surrounding Memorial Day, passersby can pull over, walk among the flags, and reflect upon their own personal heroes. The display will inspire pride and patriotism among both the local community, and those who pass through town as they travel to Ocean City.
Heroes and sponsors will be recognized in a local newspaper insert in 2016, during a special flag display ceremony, and on signage at the site of the flags.
Presented bySponsors may honor a personal hero by sponsoring a flag with a tax deductible $50 donation. Each sponsor will receive a certificate honoring their chosen hero within 1-2 weeks.
To honor your hero in time for Christmas, please make your sponsorship no later than December 18th. You will receive your certificate in the mail prior to the holiday.
