The fourth annual Flags for Honor, put on by the FBI Cleveland Citizens Academy Alumni Association, is now on display at Cleveland’s Public Square.
Friday, 600 American flags were set up honoring both active and fallen military, police, firefighters, FBI agents, medical professionals, teachers and coaches and other heroes.Each flag includes a medallion featuring the name of the honoree and their sponsor. Honorees will also be recognized year-round in our Virtual Flag Dedication where they are acknowledged on the interactive map.
“Flags for honor is making sure that we never forget the sacrifices of both those people that have served,” Kikol said. “And making sure that the families of those survivors understand how important it is that we shall never forget their sacrifices for our country.” “The funds that we raised help us in community outreach programs that support law enforcement and dealing with also the inner city of Cleveland and trying to bridge the gap between the young men and women growing up in Cleveland and law enforcement,” Kikol said.
