Remembering Our Fallen

May 28 @ 12:00 pm - June 11 @ 5:00 pm

Iraq – Afghanistan National Memorial

Tribute Towers of America’s Fallen from The Global War on Terror National Tour will stop in Jacksonville dates May 29- June 11 at the Amvets Post 100!

Organizers are still asking for help in contacting Gold Star families to include every single American who has died between 9/11/2001 – 8/30/2021 in The War on Terror. There is no cost to families. They may visit the website: www.RememberingOurFallen.org and provide basic information and two photos for their fallen loved one.

This National memorial also includes Tribute Towers that recognize our servicemen and women who died from training accidents or attacks while stationed stateside or on overseas bases. Those who return from war with invisible wounds of Post-Traumatic Stress and succumb to suicide are also included to recognize the tragedy of PTS.

“We can never forget those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. We must remember these American Heroes and speak their names when we see their family members,” said Bill Williams, Vice President and Co-founder of Patriotic Productions, the non-profit responsible for this memorial. “This memorial is created to travel, stopping in cities and communities all across the nation so more people will have the opportunity to honor and remember our Fallen from the longest wars in our nation’s history. We are thankful to The Amvets and WJIL/WJVO for hosting this beautiful and somber memorial.”
