A solemn display in Lynchburg on Saturday - over 1,200 flags made up the 8th annual Field of Honor, which honors first responders and military veterans.

Volunteers marked Labor Day by creating a poignant tribute to fallen 9/11 first responders at Beaver Dam Farm in Buchanan, planting 406 American flags and attaching 406 tags adorned with names and photos of those who made the ultimate sacrifice among the sunflowers at the farm.

Glencoe Mansion announced their annual Field of Honor flags will be available to be sponsored for the 2025 celebration, starting Monday, March 31.

The Rotary Club of Forest is presenting the 7th annual Field of Honor that began on Sep. 7.

The Forest Rotary Club organizes the display where each of the 1,000 American flags are sponsored for a veteran, a member of active-duty military, police, fire, or healthcare worker.

Each flag has a tag you can sponsor. Proceeds are donated to local organizations, including food banks and veterans’ groups. The Rotary Club of Forest organized the fourth-annual display, known as the Field of Honor.

FOREST, Va. – The Field of Honor in Lynchburg is back, but it will look different than usual. The Forest Rotary Club is used to having close to 1,000 flags on Graves Mill Road around this time, but the coronavirus pandemic changed its plans. The club had to downsize its annual display this year because some of its sponsors could not afford to buy a flag. Despite that, the group said they still have 700 American flags, with about 170 displayed in honor of Lynchburg’s firefighters.
