The Glen Cove Rotary Club has replaced the old torn American flag at the triangle at the entrance into Glen Cove from Glen Cove Road. The flagpole was donated by the club a few years ago. The Rotary flag has been flying along with the American flag but recently Vincent Martinez, Sr. asked the Rotary to retire its flag and make room for a POW flag. The Glen Cove Rotary Club gracefully agreed.

The Glen Cove Rotary Club has also replaced the thirteen American flags at Danis Park and has agreed to have a POW flag fly there as well. Danis Park is the triangle of land near Orchard Plaza.

Brian Mercadante of Accent on the Home has been the driving force behind the Glen Cove Rotary Club's flag program. The Glen Cove Rotary Club has stated that the community is lucky to have such a caring and patriotic person as Brian on their team. Photography by Glenn Messineo
