Last night, March 14, 2023, our Chairman for the Bridge of Heroes project had the opportunity to present the project at AmVets Post 1788 of Marietta, Ohio and thank them for their sponsorship of our 2022 project.

Their officers welcomed us in for the short presentation and accepted our appreciation award of their sponsorship from last year!

The Bridge of Heroes project was established to honor our community’s military veterans and service members. The flags are displayed on the Putnam Street bridge in Marietta during the weeks of Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day.

Community members are invited to sponsor a flag in honor or memory of their favorite veteran. Sponsorships for the 2023 Bridge of Heroes are $100 and include all three holidays. Each flag will have a tag that includes the name of the veteran/service member, as well as the name of the person, group, or business that purchased the sponsorship.
