MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Veterans and first responders were being honored with hundreds of flags in front of a YMCA in Mooresville.
The flags placed outside the Lowe’s YMCA were part of the Field of Flags celebration for the Fourth of July.
On each flag was a card recognizing individuals from the surrounding area who serve their community or the country.
Nearly 15,000 people were expected to gather Monday for the 17th Field of Flags Summer Celebration. The event is the largest July 4th Celebration in the Lake Norman area, and there will be food, live music, and fireworks.
Most of the festivities were slated to kick off around 6 p.m. The flags will be out until Wednesday.
Both the event and the Field of Flags are free to the public.
