Opening Day and Flag Installation

The Post-9/11 U.S. Armed Forces Memorial at Patriot Park

is officially open for the 2026 season daily until dusk.

We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation for the dedicated volunteers for rising to the occasion once again. The Field of Heroes flag installation was completed quickly and efficiently last weekend, thanks to the many hands and hearts! We’d also like to thank everyone that donated to our flag campaign.

Those in attendance also paid respects to the lives lost in Operation Epic Fury with reading of the names and placing flags in their memory.

Please visit soon. We have many events coming up, including the Memorial Ceremony on Sunday, May 24th at 4:00 P.M., Display of the VAU Veterans and Athletes United Traveling Memorial from August 1st to 11th, and our 4th Annual Fundraising Dinner on Tuesday, August 11th.
