The Cambridge MD Rotary Club is honored to bring back our annual Flags for Heroes Display at Long Wharf Park in Cambridge Maryland. This uplifting community tribute honors our community heroes who have made a difference from veterans and active-duty service members to first responders, medical professionals, educators, mentors, and our neighbors who lead with courage and compassion.
This year’s display will kick off on May 21st at 5:00 p.m. with a Flag Raising and Dedication Ceremony. Corporate and Individual sponsors will be invited to participate in the Dedication Ceremony, by placing their honoree’s flag themselves. This creates an experience that is more personal than simply seeing a name on a tag—bringing families, friends, and neighbors together in a moment of gratitude and reflection. Individual Flag Sponsorships are $50.00 and Corporate Sponsorships vary by level. Learn more or sign up to be a sponsor here at https://rotaryflagsforheroes.org.
“Flags for Heroes is our community’s way of honoring the everyday heroes who make Cambridge stronger. Having families come together at Long Wharf Park to recognize those who serve others will make this tribute even more meaningful,” said Angie Hengst, President of the Cambridge MD Rotary Club. “This event reflects the heart of our community and the spirit of service that defines our club.”
As we honor local heroes, we’re also mindful that 2026 marks America’s 250th anniversary—a national milestone that invites all communities to reflect on service, sacrifice, and civic responsibility. We’ll include a brief, nonpartisan “America 250” recognition during the dedication ceremony to connect our local tribute with that larger spirit of community and country.
Proceeds support Veterans Programs and Rotary Community projects such as: DCT Vets Medical Transportation, Mid Shore Veterans Group, American Vet Dogs, Vets Helping Vets of Delmarva, Charlotte Hall Veterans Home, Fisher House, Operation We Care, Folds of Honor, Coastal Hospice, Tunnel to Towers, and much more.
