THE DERBY-SHELTON ROTARY CLUB IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE 5th ANNUAL

FLAGS FOR HEROES

Raise a flag in honor of your hero!

Is there a hero in your life, past or present?
Honor those you admire in this community event!

Whether your hero is a veteran, active service member, first responder, police, firefighter, teacher, coach, essential worker, family member, or friend we invite you to honor them by sponsoring a flag in their name.

New this year! Upload a picture of your hero to be displayed at the ceremony.

From May 24th through June 25th, 2026, over 300 flags with personalized medallions will be flown on the Derby Green and the Shelton Veterans Memorial Park.

We invite the community to join us for a moving ceremony as we come together to honor these heroes.

Shelton Veterans Memorial Park
Canal Street
Shelton CT

At this time we are no longer accepting new sponsorships for this year. We thank everyone for their support! Please join us for the ceremony on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
