Driving down Ocean Drive is already one of the most beautiful sights in Corpus Christi, but Saturday, Nov. 9th, the Corpus Christi Rotary Club added some red, white and blue just in time for Veterans Day.
The annual ‘Flags for Heroes campaign has begun with many American flags being raised at Doddridged park, Ropes Park, Cole Park, Oleander point and Cole Park. The flags are meant to honor any military heroes.
Each flag pole has a four inch round recognition attached with the name of the individual it is in honor or in memory of. Flags were sponsored with a $60.00 contribution, and included the sponsor’s name on the recognition.
“There’s a sense you could actually lose someone, and that they gave their life for you to be here.” Priscilla Jendrzee said. “That should make anyone feel honored.”
