Flags will continue to fly at the Row of Honor in Putnam County.  Due to overwhelming popularity and support, the flags lining Lake Gleneida, known as the Row of Honor, will continue to fly until July 4th this year instead of Flag Day.  240 flags will be flown to represent the 240 years since the United States of America was established. 

Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell says the Row of Honor is a beautiful way to show gratitude to the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and freedom.  She notes that the biannual tradition means so much to both veterans, and to the families who have lost their loved ones. 

Flags can be sponsored in the name of a loved one lost in the service of our country, with proceeds given directly to VET2VET, a program that helps veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, and other difficulties, reintegrate into society.
