Memorial Day in Sidney
Sidney Lions, in partnership with the VFW Auxiliary and the Boy Scouts, post 120 flags each Memorial Day at 7am. These flags fly throughout the day, while a parade of flags, a program and lunch at Veterans Memorial Park, highlight the day. At 4pm, Lions has the honor of refolding each of these flags.
Sidney has a unique program called “The Flags of Honor” coordinated by the VFW Auxiliary, where family members can donate their loved ones flags. Currently, there are approximately 750 flags being stored in the humidity controlled room at the park. Each Memorial Day, 120 flags are displayed, on a rotating basis. This project is a wonderful way to honor all veterans! And Sidney Lions is proud to serve.
