Last weekend the third annual Field of Honor was erected, with more than 300 American flags standing in perfect rows next to the South Common. Each flag represents an individual and tells a story about a member of the active U.S. military, a veteran, a first responder or a hometown hero, including teachers, coaches and others who make positive impacts in our community.
