About Flags for Heroes

Since 2015, this Newark Morning Rotary Flags for Heroes (FFH) project has recognized the leaders and neighbors who go above and beyond to inspire and serve others with a public display of American flags. In doing so, we acknowledge the people who make a difference in our community and those who are called to put their lives on the line for others.

Together, we can encourage our friends and neighbors to recognize heroes in our community. Join us in applauding the service of our local champions and be a part of this incredible tradition in our community. You can help by sponsoring your personal hero with a $50 donation.

Nationwide, Rotary clubs organize similar Flags for Heroes projects to recognize local heroes of all forms. The Newark Morning Rotary Club is proud to be part of this tradition and to see approximately 500 American flags proudly fly at the Newark Reservoir, one of the state’s most traveled trail destinations.

The Flags for Heroes project results in a moving and memorable display and also includes a banner listing the names of all heroes being recognized. We encourage you to visit the display, take photos, and take a moment to give thanks to the heroes in your life.
