MUNCIE, IN—The Muncie Exchange Club invites the public to witness a breathtaking tribute of patriotism and remembrance during the 2026 Flags of Honor, taking place September 4th through 11th on the front lawn of Minnetrista.
This powerful visual display features 1,000 American flags flying proudly in rows, creating a stunning sea of red, white, and blue. Each flag is dedicated to a veteran, active-duty military member, first responder, or loved one remembered with honor. “There’s nothing quite like standing among those flags,” said a spokesperson for the Muncie Exchange Club. “It’s a moving tribute to those who serve, have served, or whom we’ve lost. It speaks to our community’s deep gratitude.”
