Who will you honor?

One flag. One name. One extraordinary story.

When you walk through the Orange Field ofValor, take a moment to look beyond the sea of red, white and blue.

Look closer.

Every flag represents someone who answered the call to serve. A father. A mother. A grandparent. A son or daughter, a brother or sister. A neighbor. A friend.

This November, whose story will you help us tell?

Honor a Veteran or service member with a personal flag tribute at the 12th Annual Orange Field of Valor, Nov. 7-12 at Handy Park.

Who will you honor?

The Field is returning. For six unforgettable days, Handy Park in Orange will be transformed into a breathtaking display of more than 1,200 American flags.

But what makes this Field truly extraordinary isn't the number of flags. It's the stories behind them.

Each flag carries a personal tribute to a Veteran or service member--a name, a life, a sacrifice and a story that deserves to be remembered.

Join us November 7-12 for the 12th Annual Orange Field of Valor and stand among those who served.

Every flag tells a story. Every story deserves to be remembered.

Save the dates. And start thinking about who you will honor.

We’ve been getting questions about the Veterans Day Celebration here in the City of Orange, so hopefully this clears up any confusion that might be out there~ when the City of Orange had to cancel all their special events a few years ago, the CFO was approached by the City of Orange and asked if there was a way CFO could pick up the Veterans Day Celebration, which we happily did! For the past 11 years we have honored our veterans all week at the Field of Valor, and have given them very special recognition on Veterans Day for the past two years. We are more than honored to do so again, with the help of other non-profits who support veterans, such as the Home Depot Foundation, Assistance League of Orange, Kiwanis Club of Orange, Orange Elks Lodge #1475, the American Legion Post 132, SCC Veterans Resource Center and Chapman University. Please join us in our 12th year of the Field of Valor and our third year of a Veterans Day Reflection on Wednesday, Nov. 11th beginning at 11:00 am. Lunch will be provided for all veterans, compliments of Citrus City Grille. The Field opens on Saturday, Nov. 7th at 10 am, with Opening Ceremonies at 11:30 am. And P.S., if you want to know more about Major Billy Hall (WWII, Korea, and Vietnam) and his service, please reach out.) He was the driving force for a new non-profit we support called the "You Were Worth It Foundation." Honor Flight Southland CFO is a California 501 c 3 public entity, with proceeds from the Field of Valor directed towards organizations that support our veterans and active-duty military and their families.

It's not too early to mark your calendars for the Orange Field of Valor, coming back for our 12th year! Help us continue our legacy of honoring our heroes and raising funds for local veterans organizations such as , and many more.

Join us as we come together to honor our nation's heroes at the 12th Annual Orange Field of Valor. The 2026 Field of Valor will honor veterans, support local veterans’ organizations, and provide educational and healing opportunities for our community. From November 7th-12th, more than 1,200 full-sized American flags will be displayed, each with a tribute to a service member, creating a powerful space for remembrance and reflection. Our goals are to raise critical funds for veterans groups, expand educational outreach to school-aged children, and provide a place of healing for those carrying emotional scars from service. Through this event, we honor the past, strengthen the present, and inspire future generations. (We will also be hosting a Marine Corps Birthday Celebration on Nov. 10th, and a Veterans Day celebration on Nov. 11th, both at 11 am at Handy Park).

Guess what happened today? Can't guess? Well, the CFO and the Home Depot Foundation partnered to help Orange City Fire obtain 1800 Home Depot buckets, to be distributed at the fireworks stands (benefitting local non-profits), for safe disposal of fireworks this coming 4th of July! CERT volunteers, Home Depot Associates, and a few stragglers helped apply instructions for how to properly dispose of fireworks--7 hours later, they had every one of the 1800 buckets completed! Orange City Fire Thank you Home Depot-Katella Store!
