Staff members and families of the Santa Cruz Warriors basketball team, along with volunteers from the Santa Cruz Rotary Club and Santa Cruz Memorial Park staff raised over 175 American flags at Santa Cruz Memorial Park for Veteran’s Day today. Each flag had once draped the casket of a veteran and bears information about the veteran on their flag.
14 members of the Warriors staff along with half a dozen members of the Santa Cruz Rotary Club assembled at Santa Cruz Memorial Park at 7:30 a.m. to raise the flags and again at 3:00 p.m. to carefully take them down, fold them and prepare them for storage until Memorial Day 2021.
COVID-19 significantly reduced the number of flags that could be displayed this year.
