Each November, the Plano East Rotary Club provides a venue for businesses, families and individuals to say “thanks” to those who protect our freedom and safety - Veterans and First Responders.
This powerful event centers on a field of 1,000+ 3’ x 5’ flags. As members of the public circulate among the flags, they read individual stories of the brave women and men who truly put “Service above Self” (Rotary’s motto). Special events are held each day, such as patriotic re-enactments, First Responder equipment displays and more. The lowering of the colors each day unifies those present in a shared moment of gratitude.
The Flags of Honor Mission Statement
The Flags of Honor event creates a platform to honor veterans and first responders
by sharing their individual stories in a visually and emotionally compelling manner
enabling us to raise funds to address the unique needs of this unselfish group of individuals who put service above self.
Since its start in 2017, Plano Flags of Honor has become a revered event, attracting media attention and appreciation by Veterans organizations, First Responders, families of those who serve and all those who visit the field.
