Hundreds of American flags flew at Oak Creek Community Center and South Milwaukee City Hall to salute local heroes.
Flags for Heroes is…
A highly visible way to recognize a hero with dignity and honor.
A special remembrance for the person who has enough stuff in their life.
A way to honor a hero while helping others in need.

Event Details
Each sponsored flag will be tagged with the name of the hero and sponsor. The public is invited to visit anytime and walk through the flags. A list of heroes and their donors will be available to help locate the hero’s flag. After the flags are taken down, each honor tag will be delivered to the sponsor or hero as a remembrance.
Flag sponsorship is 100% tax deductible.
Whether or not you honor your hero with a flag, we encourage you to post on Facebook: Flags for Heroes MKE South Shore — because every hero deserves to be thanked.
