Fourteen Hundred United States flags will fly in River City beginning on Flag Day to celebrate Old Glory’s 241th birthday and continuing until Independence Day, which marks the 242th anniversary of American independence. The Danville Rotary Club is hosting their 4th Annual Field of Honor® as a tribute to River City’s hometown heroes.
This formation honors the Stars and Stripes, which is the great symbol of our shared values, hopes & aspirations while recognizing the contributions of personal heroes who have added to our national flag’s meaning through their positive impact. Whether honoring a teacher, a minister, a grandparent or a friend, each flag represents an individual and tells a story. Sponsor a flag to fly to honor an individual who has touched your life. This is the perfect opportunity to recognize our heroes and to let the entire community know the impact that these heroes have had.
This display is a gift to the community made possible through donations, sponsorships and the efforts of many dedicated volunteers. You can show your support and gratitude by sponsoring a flag or making a donation.
As visitors to Danville’s previous events will remember, a Field of Honor® display is an experience hard to describe but not to be forgotten. We invite all to walk with us among the ordered rows of flags. The display is open to all without charge. Don’t miss it!
