Summary

Veteran Services reported 7,086 flags will be displayed for the Field of Heroes dedication; the department asked the board for a proclamation, emcee volunteers and logistics coordination for the ceremony this Friday.

Melissa Hartman of Veteran Services told commissioners the Field of Heroes event is scheduled with a dedication ceremony Friday morning and that current site numbers total 7,086 flags, which Hartman said includes 13 casualties from Operation Epic Fury, now included in the global war on terrorism count per her remarks.

Hartman described the new Facilitron reservation process with the school district (account-based reservation that no longer requires a signature), confirmed insurance arrangements and asked the board to write and read a proclamation at the dedication. She also asked for a commissioner to emcee the opening ceremony; the board nominated Commissioner Moser for the opening.

Hartman requested that commissioners arrive early (about 9:30–9:45 a.m.) for organization and recommended a 5:00 a.m. arrival on Monday for the thunder-run segment to avoid being late. The board confirmed arrangements and thanked Veteran Services staff for coordination.
