Rotarians honor Newark veterans, other community heroes
Members of the Newark Morning Rotary Club gathered at the Newark Reservoir on Sunday morning to honor veterans and other community heroes, against a backdrop of several hundred large American flags. "We are deeply honored to honor the men and women of our military who have helped preserve the freedoms we enjoy," Rotary President Laurie Williams said. "We honor all veterans. They and their family have made incredible sacrifices to protect the way we live and the country we live in." The flag display and ceremony were part of the Rotary Club’s annual Flags for Heroes program. Community members and businesses were invited to sponsor a flag and dedicate it to their heroes, who were honored with a tag attached to each flag. While the event was planned to commemorate Veterans Day, the flags also honored first responders, healthcare workers and other community heroes. Receiving special recognition this year were school nurses from the Christina School District. "They serve the community and future generations in ways we can barely comprehend, so this year they are a special addition to the people we're honoring at this celebration," Williams said. The money raised by the flag sponsorships will be donated to charities
