Rotary Clubs Seek Hero Nominations From Community

The Rotary Clubs of Murrieta and Old Town Temecula invite nominations of “heroes” who will be honored during the 2024 Murrieta Field of Honor, November 9-16.

The Murrieta Field of Honor celebrates its 16th year in 2024. The Field is presented by the Rotary Club of Murrieta in partnership with the Old Town Temecula Rotary Club and the City of Murrieta. More than 2000 American flags will fly in Murrieta’s Town Square Park during the weeklong event.

The benchmark that the Rotary Clubs use in selecting heroes who are nominated by the community: A hero is a person (or group) who in the face of danger or adversity or from a position of weakness displays courage or self-sacrifice for the greater good.

To nominate a hero, please send a picture of the Hero, a short biography, a few short sentences on why they should be selected plus contact information (address, email and telephone numbers of the hero and of yourself) to MurrietaRotary@gmail.com. A form is provided here for all the nomination information. Nominations will close September 1, 2024.

For 2024, all heroes nominated must be veterans of United States military service and current residents of Riverside County, California.

Heroes will be honored with a special salute during the Field of Honor week, along with being featured in a special Field of Honor magazine and in media postings.

Hero selections will be made by a committee of Rotary members; all nomination information will become property of the Rotary Club of Murrieta and may be used in promotion of the Field of Honor.
