Creating an awe-inspiring panorama, United States flags will fly in a solemn formation at Veteran’s Plaza at Spring Canyon Park from May 27th through May 30. This stirring display of 500 flags will bring the community together in a patriotic tribute to honor our heroes. Each U.S. flag has a medallion attached which represents a hero and tells a story. The Rotary Club is honoring each of the four members we lost this year with a medallion: Carl Maxey, John David Sullivan, Shelly Godkin and Mary Ontiveros.
