2021.11 Nathan Chapman Honor Walk

The Georgetown Sertoma Club is participating in this year's "Field of Honor" event hosted by the Georgetown Rotary Club, as part of our National Heritage projects. The initial event took place in 2017 with the display of 1400 full size American Flags by the Georgetown Rotary Club growing to approximately 1500 flags in 2021. Sertoma is participating. by hosting an event in conjunction with Heroes Night Out and Wilco Blue Star & Gold Star Mother's during the week long "Field of Honor" activities. The purpose of the "Honor Walk" is to recognize those Veterans and First Responders who serve in harms way to keep us safe and free. This event is named in honor of Nathan Ross Chapman who's military career spanned 13 years. Army Sergeant First Class Chapman with 1st Special forces group was the first American soldier killed in combat in Afghanistan. On September 11, 2006, a casting commemorating Chapman was displayed at the Georgetown Courts Building.
