Orange Heart Memorial

Huge shout out to American Home Heroes, LLC, Taron Smith, Abigail Lemley Tewmey, and the team at Springfield Memorial Gardens, Funeral Home and Cremation Center for helping us install Phase III so we could Welcome Home our Vietnam Veterans and their families yesterday!

Hope you will join us.

So blessed to attend the opening performance of the play, 77 Letters last night. The performers were amazing in how they portrayed this heartwarming story. We met so many Vietnam Veterans and Ken was able to present several with the Orange Heart Medal. Thank you all for your service and for fighting for my freedoms. Welcome home from a grateful nation. 🧡🧡🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

“This will remain the Land of the Free only so long as it is the Home of the Brave.”

Is official!

Today is Agent Orange Awareness Day. August 10, 1961 is the date thought to be the first day that the herbicide, known as Agent Orange, was sprayed in Vietnam. Today the VVMF in Washington DC held its Agent Orange awareness event. Orange candles illuminate the entire Vietnam Veterans Memorial site. Today we members of the Orange Heart Medal Foundation also remember all of our hero’s we have lost and those who are still suffering the effects of Agent Orange. Agent Orange took the love of my life on November 9, 2017. Today the death toll from Agent Orange is reported to be 557 per day. These men and women who served their country faithfully should never be forgotten. They are hero’s and all of their lives mattered. When we speak their name, they live! 💔🇺🇸🇺🇸🧡🧡🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸💔

Cenotaph #10 has been installed.

An American hero through and through. Rest easy brother!

Still some details to add but the monument and plaques are installed! Just 6 days to the dedication and unveiling. Ken Gamble Joyce Gentry

Building this memorial to honor all our Vietnam Veterans wouldn’t have happened without the help of each of our donors and every Vietnam Veteran on the Memorial. Thank you!

We are very appreciative that Cindy Stonebraker will be part of our dedication to share her story and introduce our POW/MIA Ceremony. Only 22 days until the dedication.

We are thankful that Lieutenant General, US Army, Retired, John Pickler will be speaking at the Memorial Dedication on November 11 at 3:30 p.m.

It’s all coming together. This gives you a good visual of how everything fits together. We also have some very special benches coming soon!
