Flags for Heroes

Thanks to all of our 2020 sponsors. Please consider sponsoring again in 2021.

Flags for Heroes 2020 was again successful even with all of the Coronavirus challenges. We are very pleased with 409 sponsorships. Over 500 American flags were proudly displayed in six locations in Georgetown and Millsboro the week before and the week after July 4th. We displayed about 100 flags in six locations before and after Memorial Day. The same number of flags will be displayed before and after Veterans Day. In 2021, please consider honoring our active duty military, veterans, police, firefighters, first responders or your personal hero with a $50 flag sponsorship. A special thanks to all of our Corporate Sponsors listed on the right.

Please visit the Rotary District 7630 website for information on District events. Also see the event calendar on DaCdb.
