YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN:
A CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR OUR HEROES
Please join us for an evening of remembrance, honor, and community solidarity as we gather to lift up those who sacrificed so much for our freedom.
Together, we will honor our Prisoners of War, those Missing in Action, and the brave veterans and families who continue to battle the devastating, long-term effects of Agent Orange and other war-related conditions.
WHY WE GATHER
National POW/MIA Recognition Day - The third Friday of September is strictly set aside to remember those who never made it home. They are not just statistics; they are individuals whose families still live without closure. As of June 2026, 80,769 American service members remain missing across our history: World War II: 71,710 - Korean War: 7,362 - Vietnam War: 1,565 Cold War: 126 - Gulf War: 6 - *Of these brave souls, 5,346 are from PA.*
Agent Orange Awareness - With October designated as National Agent Orange Awareness Month, we begin our remembrance early. We stand with the veterans currently suffering from toxic chemical exposure, honor those who have already passed, and wrap their families in love, support, and prayer as they navigate these painful battles.
Honoring All War-Related Conditions - We will also pause to recognize the heavy, often invisible burdens so many of our veterans carry home—including PTSD, suicidal ideation, physical injuries, and debilitating illnesses.
"To all our veterans and active-duty service members:
You are our heroes, and we thank you."
Whether you are a veteran, a family member, or a grateful member of the community, your presence matters. Let us light a candle together to ensure their sacrifices are never cast into shadow. We hope to see you there.
