Citizens for Milford and the Milford Corps of the Salvation Army are excited to announce that the popular Field of Flags installation will return to the beautifully revitalized Draper Memorial Park beginning on this Memorial Day. 

In 2023 the flags will be displayed on Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Veterans Day. All area citizens, organizations, and businesses are invited to sponsor a 3′ x 5′ American flag to fly on a 10′ staff in Draper Memorial Park for a $40 donation. 

Each flag includes a yellow ribbon with an attached card naming the person being honored, the honoree’s military branch and years of service, and the sponsor’s dedication. Sponsors can personalize each flag by providing a photo if desired.

To sponsor a flag for the Draper Memorial Park Field of Flags project, citizens need to complete a form and mail it to the address provided on the form with a $40 check made out to the Salvation Army before May 19. The sponsorship order form can be printed from the CitizensforMilford.com website. 

Last year, the number of flags was near capacity! Don’t miss out on this beloved town show of appreciation for our military! Get your form in soon before May 19.
