 These volunteers installed all the flags at Veterans Memorial Flag and the Shelton Riverwalk. |
Rotarians, Interact members from Derby and Shelton High Schools and other community volunteers have installed all the flags for the Flags for Heroes program in time for Memorial Day. The flags will stay up through a special service to be held at Veterans Park in Shelton on June 14th at 11:00. That ceremony will include the reading of the names of all those being honored with flags this year. Each flag allows people to celebrate and honor the heroes in their lives by sponsoring a flag in their name at a heartfelt and inspiring event. This unique initiative recognizes individuals who have made a meaningful impact—whether they are heroes of the past or present. Each hero’s name is featured on a personalized medallion, which is affixed to a full-size American flag.
These flags will be prominently displayed at Shelton Veteran Memorial Park for Shelton honorees and on the historic Birmingham Green in Derby.
