Dennis MA 8th Annual Field of Honor®
As during seven past years, the Dennis Field of Honor® display of 400 U.S. flags will honor those who have worn the military uniforms of the United States while serving to defend our freedom at home and around the world. This year we have new additional heroes to honor who have placed their own lives in danger in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical professionals, police, firefighters and essential workers have joined together to care for the sick, comfort the dying and support us all during times of quarantine, lock-down and social distancing.
Sponsored by AMVETS Post 333 and the Dennis Field of Honor® committee, the display offers Cape residents the opportunity to dedicate a flag in honor of a chosen hero while supporting AMVETS programs that benefit veterans. Proceeds will benefit Emerald Hollow Therapeutic Riding Center and Heroes in Transition.
Dedicated flags will be retained by sponsors at the conclusion of the event to be presented, flown or kept as a memento of the display.
It is hard to describe the experience of seeing hundreds of flags flying on the Cape’s magnificent setting. Those who have visited the Dennis Field of Honor® posting of the Stars & Stripes in past years know of the event’s amazing impact, and first-time visitors have a great experience awaiting them. There will be no charge to visit the Field of Honor® display, and all are invited to walk with us through the ordered rows of flags. This is an event not to be missed.

Field of Honor returns to Dennis for Veterans Day
Wicked Local
Many Americans have been watching Ken Burns’ PBS documentary “The Vietnam War,” perhaps recalling how they watched it live on the nightly news 50 years ago. But for Ken Archambault it was more than a vicarious experience. He was reliving his tour of duty in Vietnam in 1967-78 flying medical evacuation helicopters for the 1st Cavalry Army. He was 20 years old.
