Who is Your Hero?
Heroes don’t have to wear a cape. Some wear a uniform; some wear scrubs and others have done something to make a difference in your life such as a coach or teacher. Some have performed service to our community or the world. Honor our present heroes and past fallen heroes. Please join us as we honor them with a field of flags waving proudly to honor every hero! 

Sponsor a flag today!
Honor your hero by sponsoring the flying of a flag with a $50.00 contribution. Each of the 300 flags displayed during Memorial Day Weekend at the King Farm Homestead along Rockville Pike will be identified with a commemorative tag attached to show the name of the individual it is in honor of or in memory of someone during the event. Tags will be given to the sponsors following the event. Flags remain the property of the Rockville Rotary Foundation, Inc.
