The Flags for Heroes is an annual event that provides an stirring visual display of American flags throughout the town of Easton during Memorial Day weekend. In 2018, 1,000 flags were displayed at Hog Neck Community Center, Idlewild Park, and the Talbot County Business Center property on the bypass. To date, more than $250,000 has been raised to assist local organizations.
The 8th Annual Flags for Heroes campaign is currently underway. Each flag is $50 and can be named in honor of your hero or for all the men and women who serve or served our country. Corporate sponsorships are also available for $250, $500, and $1000. For more information, or to purchase a flag for your hero, visit www.flagsforheroes.org/or call Jackie Wilson at 410-310-5664.
