NWTN Eagle Riders Field of Flags Moved to Discovery Park

The North West Tennessee Eagle Riders Field of Flags will no longer be at the UTM campus. NWTN Eagle Riders were informed by Jake Bynum Chief of Staff to the Chancellor that the UTM ROTC would be taking over the Field of Flags on the campus. We wish them Luck on their success in placing and maintaining The Field of Flags.

The NWTN Eagle Riders has been invited to place their Field of Flags at Discovery Park in Union City this year. We will be placing our 400 plus Flags on May 17(Armed Forces Day) and removing them on May 31.

If you would like to sponsor a Flag for your Veteran or Patriot reach out to ANY North West Tennessee Eagle Rider. The cost to sponsor a flag is $20.

On May 17 NWTN Eagle riders will have a tent and booth set up from 9-12 for anyone wanting to sponsor a flag. The flags will fly from May 17-31 before coming down. On the 31^st those who sponsored a flag will have the flag folded and presented to them with the tag. If you cannot attend in person please leave a phone number so you can be reached. Director Jackie Laird can be contacted at 731-364-5766
