Sea Cadets are authorized by the Secretary of the Navy to wear Navy uniforms appropriately marked with the Sea Cadet Corps insignia.

Flags for Heroes celebrates our heroes; living and deceased; in a touching way to honor those who mean the most to us.
On Memorial Day weekend, a Field of Honor located at Memorial Park shimmers with hundreds of American flags fluttering in the gently warming spring breezes. The flags are sponsored by corporations and individuals who want to honor their heroes.
Each flag honors a hero with an attached medallion that bears the name of the sponsor and the sponsor’s hero.
Rows of American flags flying in the spring breeze outline Memorial Park and transform it into a hallowed space to recognize the deceased and thank the living. For some visitors, it is a place of contemplation and for everyone, it becomes a place of reflection for the people who have been the heroes in our lives.
