Saugus DAR prepares for Veteran’s Day Field of Flags

Preparations for the Fourth Annual Veteran’s Day Field of Flags to be placed on the lawn of the Saugus Town Hall to honor and remember all veterans on November 11 is underway. The Parson Roby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) is sponsoring this event to honor all veterans, living or deceased, including those currently serving.

American flags may be sponsored through the Parson Roby Chapter DAR at a cost of $5 each. The flags will be placed on the Saugus Town Hall prior to Nov. 11 and will wave until Nov. 12 with your veteran’s name on the flag. Flags may be sponsored to honor a family member, friend, neighbor or employee who has served or is currently serving our country. The deadline to sponsor flags is October 30.

You may send a check ($5 per flag) made payable to Parson Roby Chapter along with the information of the veteran – Name/Rank/Branch of Service/Years or War if known – and mail to Treasurer, 27 Pearson St., Saugus, MA 01906. After noon on Nov. 11, you can pick up your sponsored flag to either keep or put on a grave.

Parson Roby Chapter’s first year sponsoring the Field of Flags was 2021, and it has been a huge success. So many members of the community stopped by to thank us in remembering our veterans this way. There were over 140 flags sponsored with veterans’ names waving in the wind, and we hope for many more veterans to be sponsored this year. REMEMBER OUR VETERANS!

All proceeds from the Veteran’s Day Field of Flags will support the DAR’s mission to preserve American history and secure America’s future through education and promoting patriotism.
