The 10th Annual Notre Dame Field of Honor® flag display returns as a powerful and moving tribute to the men and women who have honored our nation’s flag through their courage, service, and sacrifice—both at home and abroad. In 2026, this display carries even deeper meaning as we commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America and mark the solemn 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001—a day that forever reshaped our nation and reminded us of the true cost of freedom.
From November 6th through November 15th, hundreds of American flags, each standing proudly on 7½-foot flagstaffs, will transform the lawns in front of Notre Dame Catholic School into a breathtaking sea of red, white, and blue. This inspiring vista serves as a place of reflection, remembrance, and unity—bringing together students, families, veterans, first responders, and community members to honor those who have served with selflessness, courage, and unwavering dedication.
Each flag represents a hero. Each name tells a story. These are stories of bravery, sacrifice, commitment, and love of country—stories that deserve to be shared, remembered, and passed on to future generations. As we walk among the flags, we are reminded that freedom is not free, and that it is secured by those willing to serve something greater than themselves.
Flags may be sponsored in honor of veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and all who serve our nation and communities. At the close of the event, each sponsored flag may be retained as a lasting symbol of gratitude and remembrance.
Proceeds from the Field of Honor® will benefit Notre Dame Catholic School, supporting its mission to form young people with a strong academic foundation in a Christ-centered environment—nurturing body, mind, and spirit, and inspiring a lifelong commitment to service, leadership, and faith.
The Field of Honor® is a gift to the community—made possible through generous donations, sponsorships, and the tireless efforts of dedicated volunteers. It stands as a living expression of gratitude, a place where we come together to honor the past, recognize the present, and inspire the future.
This is more than an event—it is an experience. One that is difficult to describe, yet impossible to forget.
We invite you to visit the Field of Honor®, walk among the flags, and reflect on the meaning of service and sacrifice. Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors. Share in this moment of unity and remembrance.
The display is open to all, free of charge.
Join us. Honor them. Remember always.
