Saugus DAR preparing for Veterans Day Field of Flags

SAUGUS — The grounds at Town Hall will soon be covered with the Stars and Stripes as the town has begun preparing to remember its veterans.

The Parson Roby Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is sponsoring its third annual Veterans Day Field of Flags, and preparations have already started. The event will honor all veterans, living or dead, as well as those who are currently serving.

Each flag will be sponsored through the Parson Roby Chapter at the cost of $5 per flag. Purchased flags with the names of honored veterans will wave throughout the week after being placed prior to Veterans Day, which takes place on Saturday, Nov. 11.

The first Field of Flags event in Saugus took place in 2021. It garnered significant support from the community, with more than 140 flags sponsored during the inaugural event.

“So many members of the community stopped by to thank us in remembering our veterans this way,” a statement from the Parson Roby Chapter read. “We hope for many more veterans to be sponsored this year.”

Checks can be made payable to Parson Roby Chapter and mailed, along with the name, rank, branch of service, and years or war of the veteran, to Treasurer, 27 Pearson St., Saugus, MA. 01906. After noon on Veterans Day, those who purchased a flag will be able to pick up their sponsored flag to keep or place on a grave.

“Flags may be sponsored to honor a family member, friend, neighbor, or employee who served our country. The deadline to sponsor flags is Oct. 30,” the statement read.

All of the proceeds from the Field of Flags will go toward supporting the DAR’s mission to “preserve American history and secure American’s future through education and promoting patriotism.”
