On display at the First Congregational Church of Granby.

The church's lawn now bears 6,076 individual flags, each one in honor of an individual member of the United States military who died while serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. The display will continue at the church until July 10.

The Field of Flags first originated at the Somers Congregational Church, when the congregation's Memorial Garden Committee placed 2,231 flags on church grounds in October 2005. Since then, it has transformed into a national event, with churches all across the country hosting the display.

In addition to the flags, the display also includes a board that reports a state-by-state list of American casualties, including the fallen service members' name and rank. The list is continuously updated to reflect current casualty counts.

We honor them and all who have served and fought for our independence this holiday weekend.
