As we leave 2025 behind us and look ahead to 2026, we are filled with deep gratitude. We have had so many dedicated and generous supporters who helped us achieve tremendous progress at the Post-9/11 U.S. Armed Forces Memorial at Patriot Park from our humble beginning through 2025, and set bigger goals in 2026 and beyond to accomplish our misson to Remember, Honor, Inspire. Behind every challenge we have overcome, and every goal we have achieved are the committed volunteers willing to help with anything under any circumstances- from coming out to the park in the brutal weather to clean up and prep the land, plant the flags, to helping with the many small and big events that take so much time and energy for planning and much manpower to execute. In addition to the Field of Heroes where over 7000 flags fly every year - each flag representing a soldier who died protecting our freedom since 9/11 - we have had four Memorial weekend services and three annual fundraising dinners with amazing speakers. Storyboards have been updated and rotated to give the visitors a fresh experience. We added the Names of the Fallen under the new gazebo to let the visitors look up the names of the loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice for Post-9/11 conflicts. We have also added the Blue Star and Gold Star memorials and a visitors shed at the park. Patriot Park Foundation also qualified for PEITC (PA Educational Improvement Tax Credit) program!
As we plan to celebrate 25/250 in 2026 - the 25th anniversary of Nine Eleven and the 250th birthday of America, we have many exciting projects unfolding at Patriot Park. One of the significant goals is installing an interactive kiosk for the Names of the Fallen. Another goal is the completion of The Memorial/Timeline Wall design.
We could not do any of this without you! Please join us - we have many different ways for everyone to volunteer. Also, we would welcome your donations. No amount is too large or too small.
We welcome your involvement on any level. As we eagerly look forward to 2026, please follow our progress on Facebook and our website!
