Norfolk County Sheriff To Host Flag Installation Ceremony In Braintree

BRAINTREE, MA – Norfolk County Sheriff Patrick McDermott announced Friday that his office will be honoring Norfolk County’s fallen heroes with a “Flags of Our Families” flag installation ceremony on Sunday, May 29 at the Braintree Public Safety Complex.

The installation will allow families and friends who wish to honor a loved one who gave their life to submit a name that will be attached to a flag in the person’s honor. The flags will be displayed on the lawn of the Braintree Public Safety Complex at 2015 Washington St., where a ceremony will be held to honor the memory of those who died.

“The men and women of the armed services who gave their lives to defend America and its values deserve our utmost honor and thanks,” McDermott said. “The ‘Flags of our Families’ event is one small way to honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office is proud to be able to provide a space for people to pay tribute to the memories of their loved ones.”

Families and friends who wish to honor a loved one can email Outreach@NorfolkSheriffMA.org to submit a name. The name will be printed and attached to a flag. The Sheriff’s Office requests that names be submitted no later than Wednesday, May 25. The flags will be installed the week prior to Memorial Day.
