Flags For Heroes, Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club, Cape Henlopen High School, Lewes, Delaware, Memorial Week-End, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware, Honoring Veterans, Men and Women Currently Serving in the Military, and Personal Heroes
What a beautiful day! This week-end pretty much starts the summer season at the Delaware Beaches. These coastal towns are ready….I have seen them fixing streets, painting and sprucing up.
Last year Flags for Heroes got underway….all of a sudden visitors and residents were surprised to see the grounds of Cape Henlopen High School full of American Flags! Cape Henlopen High School is located at 1250 Kings Highway in Lewes, Delaware. It was so impressive and it overcame all of us with patriotism.
I believe last year they had a goal of 300 flags. This year’s event had a goal of 500 flags. It looks like they have met the goal. You have to drive by it. It is so neat.
The sponsorships were sold by the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club for $50 and would honor veterans and men and women currently serving in the military, as well as first responders and personal heroes.
Last year’s proceeds funded 2 scholarships to veterans in Delaware Tech’s Wounded Warriors Program and helped purchase a new ambulance for the Lewes Fire Dept. Proceeds from this year’s sponsorship will continue to support first responders and military organizations, as well as scholarships to students participating in ROTC programs in college.
The Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club has a Facebook page. You can also get to know them better by visiting http://www.lewes-rehobothrotary.org.
NOTE: Deadline for purchasing a sponsorship is today, Friday, May 23rd. Call 302-645-5896.
Have a beautiful day!!
