Gunny's Warriors is set to host its second annual community event, aimed at honoring local heroes and raising funds for non-profits. Scheduled for September 7th, the event will feature food trucks, children's activities, and live music, culminating in a poignant sunset taps ceremony each evening.

The centerpiece of the event will be 500 American-made flags, each available for dedication to a personal hero. Participants can purchase a flag for $45, which includes the flag, pole, and finial, along with a dedication that will fly with the flag throughout the event. Last year, the initiative successfully raised $5,000 for local charities, and this year, organizers aim to double that amount to $10,000.

The event will be open to the public 24 hours a day, providing opportunities for reflection and appreciation of the displayed flags. Additionally, a special 9/11 ceremony hosted by the VFW will take place on September 11th, concluding the event with closing taps. Organizers are encouraging community participation and have provided sponsorship opportunities to help cover event costs.
