Patriotic 500-Flag Display Returns to Park this Veteran's Day

All flags bear a soldier's name - adding names now!

(RM Allen)

Each flag is marked with the name of a service person. Please add your special people into this moving display, and then bring them over to view it. (Or snap a photo and send it them overseas.)

The local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (which serves seven towns in the Greater Exeter area) annually honors veterans and active-duty troops each fall during Veterans Week with a 500-flag "Field of Flags" formation at Stratham Hill Park all week long. It makes for a striking patriotic display of gratitude.

Paper order forms are in both the Exeter and Stratham Town Offices. Only $5 per name. Order by Oct 28. Thank you.
