Each year the Carl A. Schelin Post 1271 of Tappan, NY, in partnership with the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan and the Tappan Reformed Church, recognizes our fallen veterans and active servicemen and women.

This year, this partnership has expanded with the support of the Colonial Flag Foundation® and the Field of Honor® by creating an awe-inspiring panorama. United States flags will fly solemnly at the Manse Lawn field from May May 17th through July 12th, 2025. We expect 250 U.S. flags to produce a stirring display to unite the community in a patriotic tribute to honor our heroes. Each U.S. flag represents an individual and tells a story. Flags may be sponsored to honor individuals currently serving in our active-duty military, fallen servicemen and women, first responders, veterans, hometown heroes, frontline workers, and 9/11 victims. This unique event is the perfect opportunity to remember and honor our many heroes.

The Stars & Stripes reminds us of who we are as people. Americans become stronger by meeting the challenges of history and overcoming hardships. That is just who we are. The United States flag represents our solidarity in creating a brighter tomorrow and uniting us all.

This moving display is a gift to the community made possible through donations, sponsorships, and the efforts of many dedicated volunteers. You can show your support and gratitude by providing a corporate sponsor, sponsoring a flag, or donating.

Thank you in advance for your support,
