Is there a hero in your life, past or present? Why not honor them by sponsoring a flag in their name at this wonderful community event? The honoree could be a veteran, an active-duty service member, a first responder, police, firefighter, EMT, teacher, coach, an essential worker, a family member, humanitarian, or best friend. Your hero's name will be personalized on a medallion, which will be attached to a full-size American flag and will be given to you as a remembrance when the display is taken down.
Flags will be proudly displayed at the Amesbury Servicemen's Memorial Honor Roll on Main Street (across the street from Amesbury Middle School). Flags will be on display starting Memorial Day, May 27th through Flag Day, June 14th. You can recognize your hero by sponsoring a flag for $75.
