Last Milford 2022 Field of Flags Display Will Mark Veterans Day

MILFORD, MA — The last installment of a display honoring veterans in Milford will start on Nov. 2. That's when Citizens for Milford and the local Salvation Army corps will start installing flags at Draper Memorial Park to mark Veterans Day.

Here's more from a Citizens for Milford news release:

Citizens for Milford and the Milford Corps of the Salvation Army are excited to announce that the Veterans Day installation of the 2022 Field of Flags in Draper Memorial Park will take place on Nov. 2 and will remain in place until Nov. 14. This will conclude the sixth year for the project, growing from 89 flags in 2016 to 200 in 2022.

Each flag includes a yellow ribbon with an attached card naming the person being honored, the honoree’s military branch and years of service, and the sponsor’s name. Sponsors can personalize each flag by providing a photo if desired.

"Each flag honors the heroism of our many local veterans and active-duty service members," Field of Flags Chairperson Peter Scandone said.

It takes many hands to complete the steps necessary for the flags to fly! We will begin at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at Draper Park, and if you are able to help we would love to have you.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the number of Field of Flags displays that are planned for 2022. There are three this year with the final one coinciding with Veterans Day.
