A Tribute That Unites Us All
The Rotary Club of Salem proudly presents an awe-inspiring patriotic display—Field of Honor® —featuring hundreds of U.S. flags standing in solemn formation on the grassy fields of the Salem American Legion. From October 31 – November 14, 2026, walk among this sea of red, white, and blue as we honor our Veterans, Active-Duty Military, First Responders, Firefighters, Police Officers, EMTs, Healthcare Workers, and the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. Each flag tells a personal story. Each represents a life, a legacy, and a heartfelt dedication from someone in our community.
