It is sometimes hard to remember over this long weekend that the purpose of Memorial Day is to pause from our hectic lives and reflect on those who sacrificed so much to ensure our freedom as a country.
The Rotary Club of Easton has made it their job since 2012 to make sure those special moments are maintained in our community. Their “Flags for Heroes” project, which this year installed approximately 1,000 American flags in key locations around town, has not only been successful in raising the consciousness of the community to pay respect for those who died in service to the United States, but creates a visually moving memorial that makes it impossible not to be emotionally impacted by the display.
The Spy has attempted to capture these indelible images in our Spy Moment for Memorial Day 2017.

What a wonderful sight it is to see all the flags waving in Easton for Memorial Day. Our whole family is overwhelmed each year with this glorious sight of honor. Our children and our grandchildren remark on how much they look forward to seeing the flags when they visit us over Memorial Day and the 4th of July.
Thanks to all who have supported and participated in the wonderful effort. Please always remember those who have lost their lives to keep us free.
