Brand new American flags have been installed just in time for the annual Memorial Day parade which takes place on Monday, May 26 and the Rotary Club&#8217;s Flags for Heroes program. Work crews deployed the flags from the light posts along the bridge on a windy day that showed the beauty of the display. The middle of the bridge is the site of a special wreath ceremony during the parade each year honoring those who died in the service of their country.
