Field fo Flags Event - August 26
Imagine 2,378 three foot by five foot flags in the field behind the Veteran’s Memorial.
What a sight! … and for three very excellent reasons;
- the recognition of the sacrifice that 2,378 men and women made for us to protect the American Dream, our high quality of life,
- to make possible this life denied to those unable to read through no fault of their own by helping the Rochester Reading Center/Dyslexia Institute expand their program
- to make the unveiling and recognition of all non-combatants – nurses and corpsmen – a most memorable event.
On Saturday, August 26, 2006 the Veteran’s Memorial will be re-dedicated with an unveiling of a Nurse/Corpman statue to recognize the contribution of all non-combatants in our country’s wars. Senator Bob Dole will be the guest speaker.
Proceeds from this project will go to the Rochester Reading Center/Dyslexia Institute.
You, your families, businesses, and employees, can be part be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event. You can help make this event possible by sponsoring one or more flags in the name of a loved one living or dead or simply by helping to sponsor a flag. Flags are $25 each.
All contributions are tax deductible.
Go to soldiersfieldmemorial.org for more information and for the sponsorship form.
Send your contribution for the flags to Field of Flags, PO Box 534, Rochester, MN 55903.
