They represent our respect for those who have served and are currently serving in the military and our hope for peace in the future, for a time when no one is called upon by our country to give the greatest sacrifice. Each flag represents not simply one casualty, but all of the family members and friends who have been touched by that life now gone. The Field of Flags is a silent, patriotic, and poignant reminder of the cost of war. Individuals and families have found the display to be emotional, yet comforting to know that their loved ones have been remembered. People came from towns across the state and out of state to see the flags and view the name board. The Field of Flags had more impact than the committee envisioned with the media coverage and the emotional reaction from the community and beyond. Each casualty reminded us of the danger and increased the empathy we felt for the families of those who have died. The idea for the Field of Flags came about as members of the Memorial Garden Committee considered what the church could do to show support for our troops.
A notebook was kept in the church building with the name, rank, town, state, and date of death of each American casualty. The list of casualties, by state, was displayed on a name board by the Field of Flags showing the name and rank of each American casualty. The flags were placed to honor those who have given their lives in the conflicts and to show that those who have died and their families and friends were remembered in prayer at the church. Members of the Memorial Garden Committee of the Somers Congregational Church placed 2,231 flags, one for each American casualty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The “Field of Flags” was dedicated on Sunday, Octoat the Somers Congregational Church in Somers, Connecticut.
