The Field Of Honor will again be at Spring Canyon Community Park, Fort Collins, during Memorial Day weekend, May 23-26. This awe-inspiring display of 500 American flags flying in formation salutes our country's heroes: veterans, active military, first responders and personal heroes.
This sea of red, white and blue is free to the public and is the ideal place to reflect on our country being “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Individuals are encouraged to walk among the 500 flags and read the medallions attached to the flags. Each medallion tells a story.
In addition to the Field Of Honor providing the community a place to honor our heroes, this Memorial Day display is a Club fundraiser. Funds are raised by the sale of medallions and through Community Supporters, with net proceeds staying within our community. Rotary turns the funds raised into grants to non-profitr that provide services to veterans and first responders as well as grants to other community non-profits and Club community service projects.
“Field Of Honor is our gift to the community that keeps on giving throughout the year thanks to our Community Supporters and those who purchase a medallion,” states Dave Marvin, Club member who chairs the Field Of Honor.
