Honoring local heroes and personal heroes in the lives of the people was again the theme of the Flags of Honor event, sponsored for the fourth year by Gunny's Warriors at River Star Park this weekend.

The event began with a special 911 remembrance on Friday followed by the opening ceremony on Saturday morning.

People who purchased flags displayed during the Flags of Honor event attached cards to the flags telling the story of their hero and retrieved the flags on Sunday when the event ended.
