Madison Salutes Our Heroes
Madison Salutes Our Heroes in 2024
Presented by the Madison Exchange Club
The Madison Exchange Club will host a commemorative event this September on the Madison Green. This event will be a display of 300 3' x 5' flags. Dedicated flags will be on 8 foot poles and arranged in rows, allowing people to walk amongst them and view the names and dedications of those represented by each flag. The event is a reverent tribute which strives to unite the country in the service of others.
Flags can be purchased to honor:
Victims of 9/11
Military
First Responders
Canine Heroes
Everyday Heroes
Child Abuse Prevention
All proceeds from this event will support the ongoing efforts of the Madison Exchange Club to support child abuse prevention, americanism, community service and youth projects. Purchased flags and dedication tags can be picked up after the event. Flags may also be donated to the Madison Exchange Club who purchases flags for the Town of Madison to fly on the Boston Post Road.
