Memorial Day 2008
Finally, a weekend with beautiful weather here in Connecticut. And a perfect day for a visit to the Field of Flags. The First Congregational Church here in our town is hosting the traveling display called the Field of Flags. There is one small flag placed for each American who died in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The flags have been placed on the corner on the church grounds at a prominent intersection in our town.
I was unable to get all of the flags into the same photo, there are way too many.
A signboard containing all of the names travels with the display as does the count of the number of flags displayed.
As of May 15th, when this display was installed on the church corner, there were 4576 flags on display.
