🇺🇸 MES Field of Flags is Back! 🇺🇸

Last year, our school lawn was transformed into a beautiful, moving sea of stars and stripes, and it is an experience none of us will ever forget. Seeing our community come together to honor local veterans through the DAV Field of Flags was truly incredible.

Because of your amazing support and generosity, we are so excited to announce that we are doing it again this year!

Each flag in the field represents a real hero, a unique story of sacrifice, and our unwavering commitment to those who served. Every single donation goes directly toward DAV (Disabled American Veterans) to provide life-changing services for ill and injured heroes and their families.

We want this year to be even bigger and more impactful, and we need your help to get a head start!

❤️ Want to honor a hero early?
You can make a donation and dedicate a flag right now at our official donation site:
👉 support.dav.org/participants/-mes

Let’s come together once again to show our veterans just how much Millburn cares. Save the date for Veterans Day, and thank you for your incredible support!
