Flags of Honor to host program Sunday

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The annual Flags of Honor event always has strong community support, and this year it’s stronger than ever with a record number of 158 flags in Triangle Park, Lock Haven, for Memorial Day Weekend!

Everyone is encouraged to stroll among the flags, and to attend the Memorial Observance in the park Sunday at 12:00 noon. Be sure to bring a lawn chair. Members of the Rotary Club of Downtown Lock Haven will welcome everyone and distribute the official booklets which list the flag sponsors and the names of those honored.

Vocalist Kimberly Vance will open the program at 12:00 noon with the National Anthem. Rotary Area Governor Diahann Claghorn will emcee. New participants this year are SPC Nathaniel Noel, SSG Nikki Litz, and SFC Charles Bryant of A Company, 337th Engineer Battalion, Pennsylvania National Guard. They will explain the meaning of each fold of the flag. If possible, the program will include a solemn ceremony provided by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Flags of Honor is a project of the Rotary Club of Downtown Lock Haven, with support from “Angel Partners” Nestlerode Contracting Co. and Signs & Designs of Mill Hall, as well as corporate sponsors. Proceeds benefit non-profits and worthy causes.
