(Seguin) — There’s a lot of love for the Stars and Stripes. For most, it’s a reminder of those who have fought to protect our freedoms. But for others, it’s much more than a symbol of freedom and liberty.
For the last few years, Seguin has planted a patriotic sea of red, white and blue across a large open grassy field. This patriotic display of close to 1,000 American Flags returns this summer during the city’s hosting of the annual Field of Honor.
Opening ceremonies for the weeklong event begin at 10 a.m. this Saturday.
Each flag flying atop a 7.5-foot flagstaff honors all military, veterans and The Fallen.
Volunteers describe The Field of Honor as a gift to the community made possible through donations and sponsorships. Dedication of flags is $25 and can be made through the end of the display.
The patriotic field will again make its return next door to Faith Lutheran Church located along State Highway 123 Bypass. The flags will be on display from June 10th to June 17th.
Flags can be purchased on site or online at healingfield.org. After they are flown, flags can be picked up and taken home by those purchasing them.
Faith Lutheran Church is located at 1326 E. Cedar St. Those attending the opening ceremonies this weekend are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs.
