🇺🇸 Honoring Our Heroes 🇺🇸

UPATE 7/2 10:30am - The D.A.R. Bench Dedication will be moved INSIDE the Mess Hall due to the heat. The ceremony will still begin at 4pm and the reception will follow after.

Thursday, July 2nd, the Mary Ingles Chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution will be hosting a bench dedication at the Fort Thomas Museum at 4pm. This commemorative bench serves as a lasting tribute to the men and woman who have courageously served our country. We would be grateful to have veterans, their families, and members of the community join us as we dedicate this meaningful memorial.

The museum will be open until 5pm for those who would like to walk through after the ceremony. Following the ceremony, we would like to invite all veterans and their families to the Mess Hall from 5-8pm for an “Honoring Our Heroes” reception. Come together and share stories as you enjoy some refreshments provided by the D.A.R. and Veterans & Friends Coffee Club as well as ice cream sponsored by Tracy Davis-State Farm Insurance Agent.

Walk through history with a timeline of Fort Thomas and U.S. history created in collaboration with the Fort Thomas Museum, NKU’s History Department, and Living Magazines. There will be dioramas, historic photos, posters from World War I and World War II, and military artifacts on display.

We want to thank all veterans for their service and sacrifice. You are our heroes!
