9th Annual Flag Field for Heroes

Where better to honor those who have served our country than the birthplace of our Connecticut State Hero? In partnership with the Coventry Veterans of Foreign Wars and the Coventry American Legion. Patrons can sponsor an American flag in honor of a military service member, veteran, or hero. Each flag will be fitted with a tag listing the honoree’s name, branch of service, and period of service. Flags will be on display from dawn to dusk through July 26, in front of the home that sent six sons to fight in the American Revolution.

The Opening Ceremony on Sunday, July 6, at 10 am will include patriotic poem readings, fife and drum music, and brief words from some of our veterans.
