We all have personal heroes in our lives. Each special in their own way. Why not consider sponsoring a flag to honor the special hero in your life? Flags will be flown 4 times in 2024 (Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th & Labor Day) on Tower Place, off Hwy 164/I-94. Your flag will be tagged with the name of your hero. The annual fee for individual sponsorship is $50.00.
