The Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion and The United Vietnam Veterans present The Avenue of Flags located at Sawyer Park in Hartford - one block south of Hwy 60, where Main St meets Branch Street. 

The Veterans of Foreign Wars of Hartford had ten more sleeves installed at Sawyer Park for their Ave. of Flags. This brings the total to 110 Coffin Flags that are able to go on display on Holidays and special occasions. The Post allotted $2,200 for the additional sleeves and poles. All of the Flags are donated by the families of deceased Veterans. The Ave. of Flags was moved to the Park in 2015. Since then, VFW Post 8834 has invested $25,000 in the project. That includes embroidering the names of the Veterans, a storage shed, and a new swing set.
