Flags will be placed on the Town Hall lawn prior to Veteran’s Day, where they will remain proudly displayed through November 12th. After 12 noon on November 11th, sponsors may collect their flags as keepsakes or to place on a veteran’s grave. All flags will be removed from Town Hall lawn on November 12th. Since the project’s launch in 2021, the Field of Flags has become a cherished community tradition. Last year, over 120 flags waved in honor of veterans, each one a powerful reminder of the service and sacrifice that protect our way of life. Residents frequently stop to reflect, take photos, and share heartfelt thanks for this moving display of remembrance. This year, the Parson Roby Chapter DAR invites the community to join together once more in honoring our heroes. Let us stand united as Americans—proud, grateful, and determined to remember. Remember Our Veterans. Honor Their Service. Celebrate Their Sacrifice. For more information on sponsoring a flag or joining the DAR, please email: parsonroby. saugusdaratgmail.com.
