“We are thankful to Hartnell College for being one of the first to host this beautiful and somber memorial,” said Bill Williams, Vice President and co-founder of Patriotic Productions.
Remembering Our Fallen, reminds Americans of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who died from wounds suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan while wearing our Country’s uniform. The memorial includes 31 Tribute Towers with military and personal photos of almost 5,000 of our nation’s Fallen since 9/11/2001. This memorial was unveiled nationally at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on September 7, 2017.
This national memorial also includes a Tribute Tower to recognize our service men and women who died from training accidents or attacks while stationed stateside or on our overseas bases. In addition, those who return from war with the invisible wounds of PTSD and succumb to suicide are included on a Tribute Tower to recognize the tragedy of PTSD.
