๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ BIG NEWS FOR MONROE COUNTY ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

The Monroe County War on Terror Memorial is proud to announce that we will be hosting an evening with wounded Iraq War veteran, comedian, motivational speaker, and survivor Bobby Henline!

๐Ÿ“ Fairport VFW Post 8495

Bobby's story is one of courage, resilience, sacrifice, and finding hope through even the darkest circumstances. We are honored to bring him to Monroe County for what promises to be an unforgettable evening.

As part of this event, we are launching our 34 Heroes โ€ข 34 Sponsors Campaign.

The Monroe County War on Terror Memorial honors 34 local heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice during the Global War on Terror. Our goal is to secure one sponsor in honor of each of these 34 fallen heroes, ensuring their names, stories, and sacrifices continue to be remembered by the communities they called home.

For just $100, a business, organization, family, or individual can become a Hero Sponsor and dedicate their sponsorship to one of our fallen heroes.

This fundraiser will help support the continued preservation, education, and enhancement of the Monroe County War on Terror Memorial, including future projects that ensure the stories of our heroes are never forgotten.

We hope you'll join us in welcoming Bobby Henline to Monroe County and help us reach our goal of honoring all 34 heroes through community sponsorship.

Because remembering them isn't just our responsibilityโ€”it's our privilege.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ 34 Heroes. 34 Sponsors. One Community United in Remembrance. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

For sponsorship information or to reserve your hero, please message us or send me an email to [email protected]

Memorial Day is a day to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation. As we spend time with family and friends today, we ask that you take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember those who never made it home. Their sacrifice is the reason we enjoy the freedoms we often take for granted. A grateful nation remembers.

For 250 years, our nation has honored the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. Through generations of sacrifice, countless Memorial Days have served as a reminder that freedom has never been free.

As you attend a parade this weekend, watch a ball game, gather with family and friends, or simply enjoy the freedoms we are blessed to have, we humbly encourage you to visit our memorial.

Take a few moments to walk through, reflect, and remember the fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation, as freedom is not free.
