Methuen is planning a second Field of Honor to recognize veterans, show patriotism and help raise money for veterans’ events.
Flags wave during the Second Field of Honor, beginning Friday, June 9, and continue for a week, at Nevins Memorial Library. A dedication ceremony takes place Saturday, June 10, at 9 a.m., at the library.
For each $100 donation, a flag will be displayed in the field, to be returned to donors with a six-foot pole, mounting bracket and custom dog tags with honoree’s information on it. Those with a flag from a previous Methuen Field of Honor may fly it again for a donation of $25. Volunteers are also sought to assemble flag kits and place stakes in ground.
Sign-ups take place online or by calling Veterans Services Director Paul Jensen at 978-983-8585.
