About Sonoma County Field of Honor

Welcome to Sonoma County Field of Honor. We are a non profit with a mission to support Veterans, Active Duty Military and First Responders through providing funding towards critical services.

​

Sonoma County Field of Honor was founded by a young patriot, Brody Hansel. Inspired by the national Field of Honor program, Brody was impassioned to build awareness. Understanding the impact of service, Brody is the grandson and great grandson of 5 Veterans. He learned to ride a bike with the help of a dear friend and San Francisco Fire
Fighter.

The magnitude of creating Sonoma County Field of Honor was realized and with the loving support of his mother, Alicia Hansel, Brody sought to create something truly special. Alicia embodies the spirit of philanthropy and service. It is with great pride she supports her son in his dream of giving back to those who commit their lives to service. Lifelong best friend and ultimate patriot, Brody Rodrigo joined the Board. As a high school Senior, Brody Rodrigo has managed our social media presence and cast a wide net engaging the community. The grandson and nephew of Veterans, Brody has a natural passion for the project. He has been generously supported by his mother, Laura Rodrigo. Laura has dedicated her career to providing critical technology services to our countries National Defense.

Kevin Ghilotti rounds out our Founding Board. Kevin owns and operates Team Ghilotti Inc. with his sister, Jennifer. Partnering with Sonoma County Field of Honor was an emotional investment honoring the legacy of their father, Glen Ghilotti, who was the ultimate champion of our military and a regular partner with local First Responder agencies. Kevin and Glen would be found breaking fire lines or running water trucks to fire zones tirelessly throughout the last decade.

The County of Sonoma has seen immeasurable devastation from fires and floods. The commitment, heroism and service from First Responders and the National Guard has exemplified the sacrifice these men and women make to serve and protect.

​

The Sonoma County Field of Honor Foundation recognizes with dignity and respect the contributions to our freedom and safety Veterans, Active Duty Military and First Responders make. Rows upon rows of American flags stand as silent sentinels, each representing a story of courage, sacrifice, unwavering commitment. We honor those who have served, continue to serve.

Join us in this important endeavor to celebrate and honor the heroes among us. May their sacrifices never be forgotten.
