Representatives of the Rotary Club of Georgetown presented the county commissioners with plans for the ninth annual Field of Honor at San Gabriel Park, scheduled to run Nov. 9–16 and display about 2,000 full-size U.S. flags dedicated to veterans and first responders.
Jeanne Cox, chair of the Field of Honor, described the event’s activities — a parade of flags, a keynote by Navy Capt. Dave Carey, a veterans-day ceremony featuring a retired major general, educational programs for school groups and a toy drive supporting Brown Santa. The Rotary noted beneficiaries for the year’s proceeds and said over $250,000 has been awarded to beneficiaries over eight years.
Commissioners praised the volunteer-led project and invited residents to buy flags or volunteer. Organizers said flags cost $45 each and can be dedicated to current or former service members, first responders, or adopted for beneficiaries. The Rotary also noted social-media and website details for event schedules and volunteer signups.
No county action was required; the court thanked organizers and invited the public to attend.
