Honoring Our Heroes

Our Mission

HONOR our Fallen Heroes, who raised their hand to serve 

and made the ultimate sacrifice after answering our nation’s call.

SUPPORT the families of our Fallen Heroes 

for their enduring sacrifice.

ENGAGE our communities in remembering those 

who gave their all for our freedoms.

We are forever grateful and committed to their memory.

We Honor Our Fallen Heroes by displaying their names and photos on banners and boots throughout the Pacific Northwest, assuring our 

Fallen are Never Forgotten.

Current locations: Snow Eater Brewing Co, Gibson's Nursery, Ferraro's Italian Restaurant, NorthTown Mall, Elk VFW Post 5924, Knucklehead's Brewery

Thanks to the support of community partners, 

each year we’re able to offer a limited number of 

American-made, 20’ in-ground flagpoles 

for surviving families. 

To request, your Hero must meet the criteria for a banner 

and there is a lifetime limit of one flagpole per Fallen Hero. 

Please contact us for more details or to start your request.

The Heroes Garden at the Spokane Vet Center 

is a therapy garden open to Veterans and 

Gold Star/Surviving Families.

Check back soon for opening dates and more details on

requesting a free garden box for the season!

The Illuminating Courage Memorial honors 

WA State & N Idaho Fallen Heroes 

who served post-9/11 and died in service or 

as a result of their service. 

It doesn't matter whether these men and women died 

in combat, training, accidents, from illness, PTSD, or suicide. It matters that they took an oath to defend America, placing our safety and security above their own. 

Illuminating Courage represents them all, 

holding tight to those who allow it to stand tall. 

March for the Fallen is a 5, 10 or 15.6k ruck, run or walk 

held in Riverside State Park on the 

Saturday closest to 9/11. 

This year's March will be held September 12, 2026 and 

registration will open Memorial Day weekend.
