About the Mission:

Russell J. Salvatore's Patriots and Heroes Park was vandalized overnight this past March. Flags, light fixtures, and displays including "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier," "Battle of the Bulge," and "America The Land We Love" were damaged, with an estimate of $125,000. Russell Salvatore and volunteers have repaired and built the monument back "better than ever." The monument will be redicated and officially opened on Flag Day.

PGR has participated in many events at this amazing monument over the years. Russell Salvatore has personally invited PGR to participate in this dedication.
