Sponsor flag at Worcester County Veterans Memorial

(May 12, 2023) The Worcester County Veterans Memorial Foundation has joined with the Rotary Club of Ocean City/Berlin to create a display of flags that will fly in Veterans Memorial Park, along Route 589, in Ocean Pines to honor heroes.

Veterans Memorial Foundation President Marie Gilmore said the definition of a hero “is a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities.”

Individuals and community businesses can be part of this tribute by sponsoring a flag for $50. The sponsorship deadline is May 15.

The sponsor’s name and their hero’s name will be identified on each flag on a medallion. Medallions may be removed at any time by the sponsor.

Proceeds from this project will benefit students’ education outreach projects, community charities, and the Rotary Scholarship Fund.

Businesses may sponsor the project and will be identified on the sponsor banner posted at the field of flags. Flags will be on display from Armed Forces Day through July 4. Sponsorship forms are available on Veterans Memorial Foundation website, www.OPVETS.org.
