The Rotary Club
of Georgetown’s Central Texas Field of Honor® is being presented by Don Hewlett
Chevrolet. This dramatic, emotion-filled display of full-size, 3′ x 5′ US
flags, each purchased in honor of a veteran, active or reserve duty military
individual, or first responder is a moving tribute that exemplifies “Service
Above Self,” and inspires patriotism and love of our country’s flag. The events
held throughout the week are open
to the public beginning Saturday afternoon, November 3rd
and are held in San Gabriel Park in Georgetown. In addition to the
full-size US flags, a presentation of both United States and Texas historical
flags will be on display for all to enjoy.
Flags can be
purchased for your hero in advance or at the Field. Flags are $40
each. To purchase yours, click here https://www.georgetowntxfieldofhonor.org/flag-orders/
Proceeds from this community event will benefit veteran and first responder
organizations.
The week of
events and activities for the Field of Honor will officially kick off with the
Opening Ceremonies on Sunday, November 4th at 2:00PM. This
awe-inspiring event will feature Fort
Hood’s amazing 1st Cavalry Band followed by the rumble of the Patriot
Guard Riders, a solemn combined armed services and first responder color guard,
Georgetown Fire Department’s Pipes and Drums, and a grand finale with the legendary Fort Hood 1st Cavalry
Color Guard presenting our national and state colors along with a moving 21-gun
salute and the playing of Taps.
Throughout the week, events including a Patriotic Concert, Flag Retirement
Ceremony, Honor Walk and Purple Heart Ceremony will all take place. On Saturday, November 10th, a Patriots Ball will be held at the Sheraton in Georgetown. Entertainment, dancing, and a live auction are just some of the evening's highlights. Tables are still available for purchase. Check
