Today, the Bull Run Rotary Club kicks off its 8th Annual Flags for Heroes ceremony, a moving tribute honoring veterans, active-duty service members, frontline workers, and local first responders. This event, hosted on the lawn of the Manassas Museum at 9101 Prince William Street, begins with an opening ceremony at 5:30 p.m. and will remain on display until November 16.
Throughout the morning, Bull Run Rotary members and volunteers have been busy setting up the flag display and transforming the museum lawn with hundreds of American flags, each dedicated to a hero. Over the past eight years, the Flags for Heroes initiative has raised more than $35,000 through flag sponsorships, with proceeds benefiting the Warrior Retreat at Bull Run. This organization provides a peaceful sanctuary for wounded veterans, helping them reconnect with family and find respite.
For a $50 donation, community members can sponsor a flag in honor or memory of a loved one who has served. The public is encouraged to visit the display to reflect on the sacrifices made by these individuals, each flag symbolizing dedication and bravery.
The Flags for Heroes event is more than just a display—it’s an opportunity for the Manassas community to unite, celebrate its heroes, and support a cause dedicated to those who have given so much.
