"Remembering Our Fallen" - National Tour

A very emotional exhibit, “Remembering Our Fallen" - National Tour will soon be displayed at the Ridgecrest Kerr McGee Community Center to remind Americans of the ultimate sacrifice made by those who died from wounds suffered in Iraq and Afghanistan while wearing our country’s uniform.  During September 2017, Ridgecrest hosted the California "Remembering Our Fallen", this Memorial will recognize the "Fallen" from through out our Nation. 
 
The National Memorial includes 30 Tribute Towers with military and personal photos of almost 5,000 of our nation’s Fallen since 9/11/2001.  This National Memorial was unveiled at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Thursday, September 7, 2017.
 
Organizers are still asking for help in contacting Gold Star families to include every single American who has died since 9-11-2001 in The War on Terror.  There is no fee to families.  We just ask that they visit our website and provide basic information and two photos for their Fallen loved one.   
 
This national memorial also includes a Tribute Tower to recognize our service men and women who die from training accidents or attacks while stationed stateside or on our overseas bases.  And those who return from war with the invisible wounds of PTS and succumb to suicide are included on a Tribute Tower 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 one of the longest wars in our nation’s history.  We are thankful to Operation Family Fund for being the first to host this beautiful and somber memorial in 2018.”
