The 2025 Field of Valor will honor veterans, support local veterans’ organizations, and provide educational and healing opportunities for our community. This November, more than 1,200 full-sized American flags will be displayed, each with a tribute to a service member, creating a powerful space for remembrance and reflection. Our goals are to raise critical funds for veterans groups, expand educational outreach to school-aged children, and provide a place of healing for those carrying emotional scars from service. Through this event, we aim to honor the past, strengthen the present, and inspire future generations.
