Each Cross and Star of David represents an American soldier, sailor, airmen, marine, merchant marine or coast guardsman who lost their lives engaged in the fight for freedom between WWI and present day, who resided in of Florida. This year the Memorial includes service members from: Volusia, Brevard, Osceola, Polk, Manatee, Sarasota, Hardee, DeSoto, Highlands, Okeechobee, Indian River, St Lucie, Martin, Glades, Charlotte, Lee, Hendry, Palm Beach, Broward, Collier, Monroe, and Dade counties. In all, 22 counties are represented this year.

Take Time to Honor is our way to remember the brave military personnel who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. This three day event is a solemn occasion to commemorate their bravery. We would be honored to have YOU join us and become a part of this touching community tribute.

 

 

I pray that our Heavenly Father
may assuage the anguish of your bereavement,
and leave you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours,
to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
-- Abraham Lincoln, November 1864
