Donations will fund repairs to memorial

Local residents are reminded that they may donate to the Pennsylvania Veterans' Memorial Trust Fund to pay tribute to those who have served in the U.S. military. One hundred percent of donations to the Pennsylvania Veterans' Memorial Trust Fund go toward the upkeep of the Pennsylvania Veterans' Memorial, located at Indiantown Gap National Cemetery in Annville, Lebanon County. The memorial stands in lasting tribute to those who served Pennsylvania and the U.S. in times of war and peace.

Upkeep includes landscaping, lighting and fountains as well as needed maintenance for structural and cosmetic components throughout the memorial. The memorial is currently undergoing structural repairs caused by 20 years of exposure to the elements. The memorial, which was closed in October 2022 for $3.6 million in structural repairs, is expected to reopen to the public later this year.
