Daniel Island
Field of Honor

An annual display of 1,000 American flags at River Landing Park on Daniel Island, a public tribute honoring Veterans, active-duty military, and personal heroes. Presented each summer by the Exchange Club of Daniel Island.

June 13 – July 5, 2026 • River Landing Park • Daniel Island, SC

A Community Tribute

A tribute of patriotism, remembrance, and community.

Hosted by the Exchange Club of Daniel Island, the Daniel Island Field of Honor transforms River Landing Park into a striking display of 1,000 American flags from June 13 through July 5, 2026. Set along the waterfront on Daniel Island, the installation honors the people who, through their lives, service, sacrifice, and example, have added honor to the Stars and Stripes.

Each flag represents a personal hero and helps create a moving public tribute that invites visitors to reflect on freedom, service, and community. Flags may be dedicated in honor of veterans, active-duty military, family members, teachers, cancer survivors, and other personal heroes.

The event has grown into one of Daniel Island’s most meaningful annual traditions, beginning in 2016 with 250 flags and expanding over the years to reach 1,000 flags by 2023. Proceeds support local veterans and community organizations, including Friends of Fisher House Charleston.

Open to the Public
The Field of Honor is a free, public display. Each year visitors walk among the flags at River Landing Park to reflect on the service and sacrifice they represent.
An Annual Tradition

Honor the heroes in your life.

Each flag is dedicated through the Healing Field program in honor of a veteran, active-duty service member, first responder, family member, or personal hero.

The Venue

Along the waterfront at River Landing Park.

River Landing Park sits along the waterfront on Daniel Island, providing an open, accessible setting for this community tribute. The park’s open grounds make it an ideal backdrop for the full display of 1,000 flags, and the waterfront setting gives the installation a sense of scale and reflection.

The Field of Honor is free and open to the public throughout each summer’s display, and visitors are welcome to walk among the flags at any time.

The Mission

Keeping veteran families together during medical treatment.

Proceeds from the Daniel Island Field of Honor support local veterans and community organizations, including Friends of Fisher House Charleston. The Charleston Fisher House provides families with private rooms and shared common spaces at no cost while a loved one receives care at the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center. Since opening in 2018, the house has supported over 9,303 families and saved them more than $5.76M in lodging costs alone. Every flag dedicated at the Field of Honor helps sustain that mission.
