The Westfield Kiwanis Club’s 10th annual “To Serve and Protect Park of Honor” opened Saturday, Nov. 7, on the lawn of Westfield Middle School, 30 West Silver St.
More than 130 U.S. flags are on display, honoring active-duty military, veterans both living and dead, law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders will remain on display through Nov. 28.
For a decade, Westfield Kiwanis Past President Kellie Brown has chaired the Park of Honor event. This year, volunteers from the 104th Fighter Wing at Barnes Air National Guard Base assisted with placement of the flags.
The flag program funds summer camp scholarships for children and grandchildren of military veterans, police, firefighters, and first responders. Thousands of dollars in scholarships have helps hundreds of eligible children attend camp.
The flags will be taken down the morning of Saturday, Nov. 28. Those who purchased flags can pick them up at that time.
