Dublin Field of Honor 9.11.11 - Reflect. Remember.

It truly takes a community to raise 3000 flags. Hundreds of volunteers are ready to mark the field, pound rebar and post 3000 flags as the Dublin community presents the Dublin Field of Honor - a  community commemoration paying tribute to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, September 10 - 12 at the practice fields at Dublin Coffman High School across from Cardinal Health.

 

Invite your family, friends and neighbors to attend the opening ceremony Saturday, September 10 at 7 p.m. This short reflective ceremony will  feature brief remarks from Dublin Police Chief Heinz von Eckartsberg and Washington Township Fire Department Chief Al Woo. In addition, the final flags will be posted by corporate sponsors and community leaders. 

 

You can still purchase a flag online at www.DublinFieldofHonor.org
