Boots on the Ground for Heroes

Boots on the Ground For Heroes Memorial will be displayed on the field at Gillette Stadium in honor of Veterans Day 2023.  We need your help.  The Memorial is a patriotic display of over seven thousand military boots representing service members killed in action post 9-11 in the Global War on Terror.  Each boot is adorned with a flag and a tag containing the photo and biographical information of the U.S. Service Member killed in action.

 

Volunteers for set-up and breakdown are needed. 

 

On Thursday, November 9th, with shifts beginning at 9:00 AM, volunteers will setup the memorial on the field of Gillette Stadium (1 Patriot Place, Foxborough, MA 02035.) 

 

On Sunday, November 12th beginning at 12:30 PM volunteers will breakdown the memorial and clear Gillette field.
