Field of Honor® Murrieta, CA is a registered licensed event of the Colonial Flag Foundation. Murrieta's awe-inspiring, emotion-filled patriotic event, the Field of Honor®, flies for the 17th year Nov. 8th-15th when hundreds of folks from the region recognize their personal heroes with dedicated flags in their honor. More than 2,000 full-sized American flags will be set up in perfect rows and columns for the week-long event that also features a number of other activities. And it’s also a time to educate—visitors to the Field gain knowledge about American history. We learn about our country’s flags and its highest military honor. The Murrieta Rotary club, a local group of some 50 active members, started the project in 2009 as a community service to honor those who have been heroes in our lives. Many are military veterans and first-responders, but more also are grandparents, favorite teachers and even some organizations, whomever a sponsor wishes to recognize. Rotary is flying 2,025 flags this fall, which will fill much of Town Square Park, located in the civic hub of the city of Murrieta, surrounded by city hall, the police station, library and senior center. The flag display and activities are open to the public and free for all. Field hours are 9am-5pm daily during the week of the event. The Field of Honor® Murrieta, CA, a registered licensed event of the Colonial Flag Foundation, is presented as a tribute to SERVICE ABOVE SELF by the Rotary Club of Murrieta and Rotary Club of Old Town Temecula, in partnership with the City of Murrieta. All net proceeds from this annual event fund many community and international service projects organized by Rotary.
