SALISBURY, Md. - For a fifth year, Wicomico County Rotary Clubs, including Salisbury Sunrise Rotary Club, Rotary Club of Wicomico, and Rotary Club of Salisbury, recognized heroes along eastbound Route 50 and Hobbs Road in Salisbury this year. Hundreds of flags flew at the intersection just before Memorial Day through July.
This year, leaders of all three Rotary clubs announced $1,000 from the Flags for Heroes Project would be donated to U.S. Kennels Inc., and a second check, also $1,000, would be donated to Operation We Care.
U.S. Kennels assists veterans battling PTSD, brain damage and other combat-related disabilities by adopting rescue dogs and training them to become service animals.
Operation We Care provides care packages to men and women of the armed forced who are serving overseas. In 2020, they also were instrumental in providing snack boxes and face masks to first responders and healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
