“This keeps the veterans, America at the forefront on Veterans Day,” explained Terry Scholes, co-chair for Field of Honor.
“Recurring people that come out will hang a picture of their loved one who passed in World War II or Vietnam, and it is truly a healing process for them,” said Stephanie Randolph, a volunteer with the Exchange Club of Donelson-Hermitage.
Open 24/7, community members are welcome to walk through the flags day or night in honor or remembrance of the many people who dedicated their lives to serving the country.
