ADOPT A LOCAL HERO!
Already bought flags for your heroes, or don’t know anyone to dedicate a flag to? You can also “adopt a local hero” by purchasing a flag or several flags for any branch of the military or first responders. The flags and dedication tags will be sent to the respective branch of service leadership following the event to be awarded to deserving heroes. That is truly meaningful to those who serve that did not have a flag personally dedicated to them. ADOPT A LOCAL HERO TODAY!
