MILFORD, MA — A deadline to dedicate a flag to a veteran in the first Milford Field of Flags display in 2022 is coming up in a few weeks.

Local residents have until May 23 to sponsor a flag at Draper Memorial Park for the Memorial Day holiday. Field of Flags displays will also happen two more times in 2022 for July 4 and Veterans Day.

During the displays, local residents can make a donation to sponsor a small flag, and attach the photo of a veteran or service member.
