Field of Heroes - Honoring our Veterans

For the past few years, the Westerville Sunrise Rotary has put up 2500 flags to honor the veterans who are serving or have served in our country's armed forces. This was my first time to visit the Field of Heroes, and I was really in awe of not only the work and pride that they put into the effort but also the beauty and magnificence of the display. I took about 90 pictures and was able to whittle it down to about 30 of my favorites. There were many people wandering through the aisles of flags, some looking for names of loved ones in whose honor the flag was dedicated, so you will see some people in the pictures.

A big thank you from me to all of the men and women who give their time and some their lives to ensure that our lives in America are safe and our freedoms are protected. We honor you and will never forget the meaning of Memorial Day.

Here are a few of the photos that don't begin to show how grand the whole production is.

When our veterans memorial put out flags I thought it made a vision, but I can't imagine full size flags, that says so much! Wish I could have been there to take those pictures and to say thank you to those men and woman.
