Description

Honoring America’s Military Heroes & First Responders

May 25th through May 31st, 2021
26801 Ortega Hwy., San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675

Homefront America will host San Juan Capistrano’s Field of Honor® display in the days leading up to Memorial Day.  Mission San Juan Capistrano will be transformed into an awe-inspiring panorama of red, white and blue as hundreds of U.S. flags fly in a solemn tribute to our Active Military, Fallen Servicemen and Women, First Responders, Celebration of Freedom and Canine and Equestrian Heroes.

Become a sponsor and support this beautiful tribute or to become a corporate sponsor or to purchase a flag to benefit the Homefront America programs for military families.  For a list of programs and additional information about this event visit   www.homefrontamerica.org.

After Homefront America founders Art Hasselbrink and Mamie Yong Maywhort visited a Field of Honor® Display, they determined to bring this experience home to their community.  The formation of fluttering flags is difficult to adequately describe, but once experienced the indelible imprint lives on forever. We invite you to walk with us through this stunning array of U.S. flags, standing tall and proud. We promise this is an event not to be missed.  Bring the entire family to honor those who have and continue to sacrifice so much for the freedoms we enjoy.
