I have multiple cells in the same row that currently have dates formatted as mmm yy as in Feb 24

I want to change these so they read Flag Feb 24 and Flag Jan 24 and Flag Dec 23 and so on. I've got about a dozen sheets that need this to be done on so manually doing it is laborious. The date portion of the value doesn't need to be mmm yy. It can be text. Is there a way to make these changes without manually doing it cell by cell by cell?

Thanks in advance.

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Assuming your dates start in A1, put this in B1.

Excel Formula:
="Flag "&Text(A1,""MMM YY")
