Clayton-area Rotary Clubs pay tribute with Flags for Heroes Submitted by Clayton Rotary Club
CLAYTON — More than 100 American flags will be flying near Johnston Health, on N.C 42 West in Clayton, from June 28 through July 4 to allow our community to recognize their heroes in the Flags for Heroes project. The Rotary Club of Clayton and the Rotary Club of Clayton Mid-Day have joined together to plan this special tribute to Honor our Heroes.
A large road sign indicates the location of the Flags for Heroes.
Each 3-by-5-foot American flag will be on a 10-foot pole. “God Bless America and the many people in our lives that are heroes to us,” said Leigh Hudson, organizer of the event. “In today’s climate, patriotism for our veterans, healthcare workers and first responders feels stronger than ever. Flying a field of flags will show our pride and appreciation for their efforts.” Proceeds from this event will help
fund numerous service projects in our community. For information on Rotary clubs in Clayton, visit the Rotary Club
