First Field of FlagS Display Installed for Memorial Day
The flags are flying in Draper Memorial Park!!! Thanks to a small army of volunteers, 220 flags now grace this town jewel in downtown Milford. The flags will remain standing in Draper Park until Monday, June 2. We invite residents and visitors to take some time to walk among the flags and to consider the service and sacrifice of each veteran and active member of the military honored in this sea of red, white, and blue.
Note: Due to a predicted major storm on May 22, we delayed placing the name cards and photos until Friday, May 23.
We are thrilled to have received a sponsorship for each and every flag! If you are interested in sponsoring a flag, please check with us in March 2026 for next year’s displays. You might also want to consider participating in the Milford Salvation Army’s Fly the Flag program. They continue to accept sponsorships. Learn more here.
Special Thanks!
