A DEATH
HAS OCCURRED
May 25, 2026
To everyone who came out to the Field of Memories this past weekend: thank you. The skies were heavy, the ground was soaked, and still you came. You walked among the flags, paused at the names, and stood in the wind and rain to honor the men and women whose service and sacrifice are remembered in this place. We are deeply grateful.
Memorial weekends do not always come with sunshine, and this year the weather asked something more of every visitor. You gave it. That meant something.
This afternoon at 3:05 PM, every flag dedication was read aloud, one name at a time, each followed by the tolling of a bell. A name spoken. A bell rang. A life acknowledged. It is a simple ceremony, and a profound one.
If you were unable to attend the reading, the complete list of all flag dedications made this year is available on our website, listed in alphabetical order. You can review the names at your own pace, in your own quiet space, and pay your respects in the way that feels right to you.
