NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.—After having to cancel its annual patriotic tribute in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Exchange Club of Newport Harbor will host its 12th annual Field of Honor in recognition of the service and sacrifice of the men and women of all branches of the U.S. military forces.

The Field of Honor consists of 1,776 large American flags erected along the paths and cliffs at Castaways Park overlooking Newport Harbor. The number of flags reflects the date of the Declaration of Independence adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776.
