Saugus DAR Prepares for 5th Annual Veteran’s Day Field of Flags

  (Editor’s Note: The Parson Roby Chapter of the DAR issued the following press release this week.)

Patriotism will once again fill the heart of Saugus this November as the Parson Roby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) proudly prepares for the 5th annual Veteran’s Day Field of Flags.

On November 11, the lawn of Saugus Town Hall will be transformed into a sea of red, white, and blue in tribute to the brave men and women who have defended our freedoms — past, present, and future.

Each American flag will carry the name of a veteran — living, deceased or currently serving. Flags may be sponsored for $5 each, with proceeds supporting the DAR’s mission to preserve American history, foster education, and promote patriotism. Sponsors may honor a family member, friend, neighbor, or employee who has served our nation with courage and sacrifice.

The deadline to sponsor a flag is October 30th. To participate, please mail a check ($5 per flag) payable to Parson Roby Chapter DAR, along with the veteran’s information (Name, Rank, Branch of Service, Years of Service or War if known) to:

Treasurer, 27 Pearson St., Saugus, MA 01906.

Flags will be placed on the Town Hall lawn prior to Veteran’s Day, where they will remain proudly displayed through November 12th. After 12 noon on November 11th, sponsors may collect their flags as keepsakes or to place on a veteran’s grave. All flags will be removed from the Town Hall lawn on November 12th.

Since the project’s launch in 2021, the Field of Flags has become a cherished community tradition. Last year, over 120 flags waved in honor of veterans, each one a powerful reminder of the service and sacrifice that protect our way of life. Residents frequently stop to reflect, take photos, and share heartfelt thanks for this moving display of remembrance.

This year, the Parson Roby Chapter DAR invites the community to join together once more in honoring our heroes. Let us stand united as Americans — proud, grateful, and determined to remember.

Remember Our Veterans. Honor Their Service. Celebrate Their Sacrifice.
