Mesquite NV Veterans Honored by 1000 Flags Over Mesquite Program

Veterans in Mesquite Nevada will be honored all week with 1000 American Flags proudly displayed in the Healing Field of Honor next to the Mesquite City Recreation Center. Anyone can sponsor a flag and pick it up on the last day of the celebration. Two of my daughters are married to Active Military men, one a Seabee and one in the Army. My husband is a Vietnam Vet - he and both son-in-laws are proud of serving their country. All three men have contributed to our freedom by volunteering to serve in wars overseas.
