Berks County Inaugural Field of Honor® July 2-8, 2023
 
The Club's Signature Service Project and Fundraiser.
We are looking for Sponsors in addition to individuals that
want to purchase dedicated flags.
 
Each U.S. flag represents an individual and tells a story [ our Active-Duty Military, Fallen
Servicemen & Women, First Responders, Heroes in Our Lives, Veterans & Hometown Heroes].
This unique event is the perfect opportunity for all of us to remember and honor our many heroes.
