JoCo Flags For Heroes
An initiative of the the Rotary Club of Clayton and the Cleveland School Rotary Club in Johnston County, NC, consisting of a public display of hundreds of American flags displayed in Clayton, NC, to honor our heroes.
We are excited to host our 6th annual JoCo Flags For Heroes. With your help, we will fly a spectacular display of hundreds of American flags in our Clayton Field of Honor next to the pond adjacent to Johnston Health Hospital. This year, our display runs from Saturday, May 24, 2025, to Saturday, June 21, 2025. Join us for our opening ceremony at 4:00 pm on May 24th. The public is invited to help us raise the flags for all our heroes!
In 2020, we initially started our mission to display American flags to honor the heroes of our community during the pandemic: First Responders, frontline healthcare workers, and employees of open stores. We expanded it to our Military, Veterans, and anyone our community considered their heroes. We continue to honor everyone’s heroes each year: Veterans, current military, first responders, frontline healthcare workers, family, friends, and strangers who have touched our lives and been an inspiration to us all. To all of these heroes:
WE HONOR YOU!
