(Oct. 20, 2016) The Pocomoke City Rotary Club is sponsoring the Flags for Heroes program again this year, on Saturday, Nov. 5, just in time for Veterans Day, Nov.11.
Anyone can nominate a hero (living or deceased) for recognition. It may be a soldier, a fireman, emergency personnel, teacher or anyone who is held in high esteem by that individual.
“Last year on Memorial Day many flags adorned the area downtown beside the big flag, and a very nice program honored all the recipients,” Willie Jackson, Pocomoke Rotary president, said. “The club was so proud to be a part of honoring these special people.”
A flag will be flown, supplied by the club, with a $50 donation. Each participant will receive a certificate in honor of his or her honoree.
The Pocomoke High School ROTC will present colors, and Mayor Bruce Morrison will give the keynote speech, beginning at 11 a.m. Applications may be obtained from any Rotary member.
