About the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club
Since 1929, the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club has been dedicated to making our community a better place to live, work, learn, and raise a family. For 97 years, our members have embraced Rotary's motto of "Service Above Self," working together to improve the quality of life throughout the greater Lewes and Rehoboth Beach communities.
Through Flags For Heroes and many other fundraising events and service projects, our Club has provided meaningful support to local nonprofits, community organizations, scholarships, youth programs, public safety initiatives, and countless other worthwhile causes. During the past six years alone, the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club has returned more than $553,000 to our community, helping improve the lives of our neighbors and strengthening the organizations that serve them.
Your participation in Flags For Heroes helps make this work possible while providing a meaningful way to honor someone who has made a difference in your life. A hero doesn't have to be a military veteran, although we proudly recognize those who have served our nation. Heroes come in many forms: active-duty military personnel, first responders, healthcare professionals, teachers, coaches, mentors, neighbors, family members, friends, and anyone whose kindness, courage, sacrifice, or example has touched your life.
By sponsoring a flag and recognizing your hero, you not only pay tribute to someone special, you also help the Lewes-Rehoboth Rotary Club continue nearly a century of service to our community. Thank you for helping us make a lasting difference.

This year's commemorative medallion
A Symbol of Patriotism, History, and Community
This year’s Flags for Heroes medallion commemorates a remarkable milestone in our nation’s history: the 250th anniversary of the United States of America. Its design celebrates the enduring spirit of freedom through symbols of our nation’s founding, the American flag, and the brave patriots whose courage and sacrifice secured the liberties we enjoy today. As we mark this historic anniversary, we honor not only the events of 1776, but also the generations of Americans who have worked and sacrificed to preserve the ideals of liberty, democracy, and service to others.
The medallion also reflects the unique pride we share in our hometown of Lewes, Delaware, "The First Town in The First State." First settled by Europeans in 1631 and permanently established in 1658, Lewes is one of the oldest communities in America. Long before our nation was founded, ships sailed into the Delaware Bay, settlers built lives along these shores, and a spirit of resilience took root that remains part of Lewes today. From its colonial beginnings to its role in the nation's maritime heritage, Lewes has always been connected to the story of America.
As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we are reminded that our nation's history is not only found in famous cities and battlefields, but also in communities like Lewes where generations have lived, served, and contributed to the American story. Through the Flags for Heroes program, we honor those heroes among us, past and present, whose dedication, sacrifice, and service embody the very values upon which our country was built. Together, we celebrate America's 250th birthday and the proud heritage of Lewes, a town whose history reaches back nearly four centuries.
