HANCOCK COUNTY, Ind. — There are more than 500 American flags now on display at the Indianapolis Regional Airport.
The "Field of Honor" is an annual display presented by the Exchange Clubs of Hancock County and Lawrence. It pays respect to first responders, veterans, military personnel and essential workers. It's a way to say thank you for their service.
"The benefit of this Field of Honor, not only to say thank you to these wonderful servants that we have that protect us and keep us safe each day and protect us and keep us free," said Jeff Young, president of the Exchange Clubs of Hancock County and Lawrence. "They're here every day doing the job. It was time to say, 'Hey, thank you so much for what you do.'"
The flags will be on display at the airport on Mt. Comfort Road 24 hours a day through July 5 and it is free to check them out.
