Event Details

The lawns of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s beloved home, Springwood at Hyde Park, will provide the site for an imposing display of two hundred U.S. flags as the Hyde Park Education Foundation and the National Park Service host their inaugural Field of Honor® event. This posting of the Stars and Stripes will draw the community together in a dramatic fashion to honor veterans, first responders and local heroes who through their service and sacrifice have given added meaning to the flag.

At the close of the event, sponsors will retain the flags they dedicated to honor individuals. The funds raised through the Field of Honor® flag display will benefit the Hyde Park Education Foundation in supporting programs that encourage and improve educational opportunities for students of the Hyde Park Central School District.

The panorama of red, white and blue is hard to adequately describe, but once experienced it is not to be forgotten. This is especially true as the flags will fly on the beautiful grounds of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site. This is an event not to be missed.
