Create a Field of Flags

Create your own Field of Flags to honor local veterans and raise critical funds to support our nation's ill and injured heroes. Your Field of Flags can be anywhere - your school's hallways, classrooms, a front lawn or even athletic fields. Each flag represents one veteran - and our unwavering commitment to serving all veterans after they've sacrificed so much for our country.

How does it work?

Sign up and select which flags you want to display — you can choose flags that are planted in the ground or paper flags that are pinned indoors on walls or windows. Next, find sponsors for each flag in honor or in memory of a veteran in their lives. DAV will mail you a flag kit for you to display the flags in your own Field of Flags the week of Veterans Day to show your support of veterans.

A special web page will be created just for you, to help you spread the word to your community, collect donations online for each flag sold in honor of a veteran and to provide you with the tools needed for a successful fundraising event.

The 2023 Field of Flags signups are now closed. Over 200 fields of flags will be flying this Veterans Day to honor veterans in communities across the country.
