Dennis, MA ~ 12th Annual Field of Honor® 2024
During the past twelve years, the Dennis Field of Honor’s® display of hundreds of U.S. flags have honored Veterans, First Responders and Hometown Heroes living a life of service.
The Stars & Stripes reminds us of who we are as a people. Americans meet the challenges of history and overcome hardships becoming stronger. That is just who we are. The United States flag represents our solidarity in creating a brighter tomorrow and uniting us all.
This breathtaking display offers Cape residents the opportunity to dedicate a flag in honor of a chosen hero while supporting programs that benefit veterans.
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.
Thank You

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.
