Juxtaposed with a military dedication monument and historic bandstand, the whole scene makes one proud to live in New England on many levels.<\/p>\n<p>The Kiwanis Club of East Bridgewater, Mass., sponsored a dedication of the Field of Flags display on Nov. 3, 2018. The display runs through Nov. 17 &#8212; if in the area, be sure to park the car and walk the field to get the full impact.<\/p>\n<p>Money raised through sponsoring a flag goes to East Bridgewater Kiwanis charities and The Fisher House in Boston, &#8220;a home away from home where our military families can stay while a loved one is receiving in-house treatment at one of our medical centers,&#8221; according to <a href=\"http:\/\/fisherhouseboston.org\/about-us\/what-we-do-at-fisher-house-of-boston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Fisher House Web Site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Kudos to those who donated and laid out the flags and setting up the overall event.
