Since its inception in 2005, The North Carolina Field of Honor® has been in Downtown Fayetteville, NC. The Cool Spring Downtown District is proud to work with the Airborne & Special Operations Museum Foundation as a partner in the Field of Honor®. The first idea for a field started in Utah in 2002, to help remember the fallen heroes after 9/11, but the purpose of a “field of flags” has extended well beyond the first vision. The fields of flags have expanded beyond healing memorials to include moving tributes of honor, celebration, civic pride, education, and more.

The Field of Honor® is a natural result of that growth. Like the Healing Field, the Field of Honor® display is utilized by a wide variety of civic service and other nonprofit organizations to generate awareness and educate the public on issues that are important to them.

Each flag comes with its own story and displays a tag identifying the person who sponsored the flag and the flag honoree. This living display of heroism flies as a patriotic tribute to the strength and unity of Americans and honors all who are currently serving, those that have served, and the men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice for our nation’s security and freedom.

Join us today on the Parade Grounds and walk the Field of Honor®. The Field of Honor® will be on display from September 11 through November 12, 2023.
