New Flag Presented at Veterans Park in Dixie

Veterans Park, the small triangle at the intersection of Routes 6 and 15 in Dixie, marked its 75th anniversary this year. Over the years, the park has been the site of many veterans remembrance ceremonies hosted by the Fluvanna County American Legion Post 2003, Point of Fork Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Knights of Columbus, and the Fluvanna Ruritans.

During Veterans Day observances on November 11, 2025, members of the Point of Fork Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR), noticed that the American flag flying at the park had become worn. Research by the chapter revealed that the original flag had been presented to the American Legion by the Point of Fork DAR on November 13, 1950. To honor the park’s 75th anniversary and this special connection, the chapter voted to present a new American flag.

On December 16, Sandra Lindner-Turner, Chaplain of the Point of Fork NSDAR, presented the new flag to Richard R. Eaton, Commander of American Legion Post 2003. Commander Eaton shared that the new flag will be raised on Memorial Day 2026 in celebration of America’s 250th birthday.


Both the American Legion and the Point of Fork DAR continue to serve the Fluvanna community in many ways. The American Legion supports local youth through American Legion Baseball, sponsors high school students to attend Boys and Girls State, and conducts an annual oratorical competition. The Point of Fork DAR works to preserve local history by cleaning headstones in area cemeteries and encourages students to learn about American history through its annual essay contest. In 2024, the chapter also helped celebrate the 200th anniversary of General Lafayette’s return to the United States and to Fluvanna County.
