FAIRFIELD, CT — It’s that time of year! The Kiwanis Club of Fairfield is sponsoring our eighth(!!) annual Field of Valor to honor Military Veterans and those actively serving our country for Veterans Day. The display of more than 300 large (3' by 5') US Flags will be in Jennings Park on the Post Road in Fairfield.

You are invited to sponsor family members or friends who served our country, or veterans in general, with a flag in our display. Your name and the name of your Honoree will be proudly attached to your flag. Once the display is complete, you may choose to pick up your flag as a keepsake.
