Climbing For Lost Linemen

06/26/2026

PLEASE FOLLOW National Sisterhood United for Journeymen Linemen page as after midnight tonight we will start posting the loved ones that will be honored tomorrow evening during the lantern ceremony.

As we roll into **Friday, June 26**, we do so with both **heavy hearts and immense pride.**

Tomorrow evening at **5:30 PM**, we will gather at **City View Park in Hazleton, Pennsylvania**, to unveil the **Linemen Legacy Memorial**—a lasting tribute to the men and women who gave everything in service to keeping our nation's lights on.

Following the unveiling, we will begin our **Climbing for Lost Linemen Ceremony**.

As the sun begins to set, climbers from across the country will ascend poles, one lantern at a time, each bearing the name of a fallen brother or sister. Every climb represents a life. Every lantern represents a family forever changed. Together, they illuminate the sacrifices made by those who answered the call and never made it home.

This is more than a ceremony.
It is a promise.

A promise that **their names will be spoken, their stories remembered, and their sacrifices never forgotten.**

Whether you are a line family, a member of the IBEW, a friend, or someone who simply wishes to honor those who built and maintained the grid we all depend on, we invite you to stand with us.

Join us as we remember.
Join us as we honor.
Join us as we remind every family that they are not alone.

700 S. Poplar Street
Hazleton, PA 18201

🕠 **Friday, June 26**
**5:30 PM – Linemen Legacy Memorial Unveiling**

Because behind every light that shines... there was someone willing to climb.

**We will never forget.** ❤️ In honor of you all, we stand shoulder to shoulder, brother to sister, with the pride of having known you.

Well… it is National Chocolate Cake Day 🍫🎂
And while we’re always here for a good slice of cake, today brings up a special question for our line family:
What was your loved one’s favorite cake?

Grief is a horrible creature.
It clings to you, it reshapes you… and just when you think “today might be doable,” it slips out of the shadows and knocks the wind from your chest all over again.
For so many in our line family, grief isn’t a moment—it’s a companion we learn to walk with. Some days it’s quieter. Other days it takes the wheel. But through every rise and fall, we hold on to the stories, the love, and the light of those we’ve lost.
As we prepare for this year’s Climbing for Lost Linemen, we want to honor those memories with the tenderness they deserve.
✨ We would love to hear about your lost loved one.
Their name, their smile, their impact—every detail matters, because they mattered.
If you feel called to share, we welcome your words with open hearts.
Drop a memory, a name, or even just a ❤️ in the comments below.
No one should carry their grief alone.
We’re here. We’re listening. And we remember with you.

As the lanterns went up last year, so did the emotions. ❤️
Our crews stood shoulder to shoulder—lifting each light with the same care they bring to every call, every climb, every family they serve.
In those quiet moments between, they consoled one another…
A hand on a shoulder, a shared breath, a small nod that said, “I’ve got you.”
And of course, those familiar taps of hardhats together—our own unspoken tradition of solidarity and strength.
These lanterns aren’t just decorations.
They’re symbols of hope, remembrance, and the unbreakable bonds within our community.
Here’s to the crews who show up with full hearts, steady hands, and courage. We see you, and we remember the reason you are there.
