Description
Field Of Flags - Original Photography by Karol Livote
The Field of Flags was dedicated on Sunday, October 23, 2005 at Somers Congregational Church in Somers, CT. At the time, the Church had placed a single flag to honor each American casualty (2,231) of Iraq and Afghanistan. A list of casualties displayed each name and rank by state. The media coverage and response from the community, families and others was very strong. Even people from out of state came to visit the Field of Flags. Each year more and more Churches join in and participate with their own Field of Flags. Even some from New Jersey and West Virginia. It is a reminder what the cost of war is and to show respect for those who gave their lives and for those who serve this country. Each flag represents each casualty and the family and friends who were touched by the life now gone.
