Hosted by the Rotary Club of Georgetown (TX) Foundation, the Field of Honor® is an emotion-filled display that is something you not only see but you feel. Walk among the 1,600+ majestic waving full-size, 3′ x 5′ US flags that honor past and present military, first responders, K9, and Equestrian heroes.
In its 6th year, this impactful signature event will be held at San Gabriel Park from November 5 to November 12. The Field of Honor® is FREE to visit and it is open 24/7, throughout the week of the event.
Purchase and dedicate flags to your veterans and first responders online now or at the field! Flag sales proceeds benefit veteran and first responder organizations that address PTSD, suicide prevention, and family support. Flags are only $45 each including the personalized dedication tag.
This year, the Tunnel to Towers 9/11 “Never Forget” Mobile Exhibit will be provided.
