Remembering Our Fallen a photographic war memorial that honors our country’s military Fallen from The War on Terror (9/11/2001 – Present), will stop in Historic Downtown Red Oak, from Thursday, June 27th to Sunday, June 30th during Junction Days 2019. Unlike brick and mortar memorials, Remembering Our Fallen is designed to travel and includes both military and personal photos. Remembering Our Fallen, on its national tour, is designed 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.

The memorial includes 31 Tribute Towers with military and personal photos of over 5,000 of our nation’s Fallen since 9/11/2001. The memorial was unveiled nationally 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. They are asked to visit the web site www.PatrioticProductions.org, and provide basic information and two photos for their Fallen loved one.

The 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. And 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. A Directory of the Fallen, along with the tour schedule and additional information, are available, also at www.PatrioticProductions.org

Patriotic Productions is a 501 c. 3. non-profit organization based in Omaha, Nebraska, with a mission of honoring our military. Remembering Our Fallen is the primary focus, however, Patriotic Productions has also taken almost 3,500 veterans of World War II, Korea and Vietnam on eleven Honor Flights to Washington, D.C. since 2008.
