"Our Mission -
TO: Preserve the heritage of the men and women of each branch of our US military throughout the ages.
TO: Honor our nation and those who have sworn their lives to defend it.
TO: Bring overdue focus to all citizens of Bradford County who have served.
TO: Name the names, cite the battles, revere those who made the ultimate
sacrifice, honor those wounded in action, preserve the legacy of those who were Prisoners of War and never forget those who are still listed as Missing in Action.
TO: Present to the public a family oriented place of reverence using the finest materials, the best craftsmanship available and to blatantly cite the honor due to all Veterans in this beautiful state of the art public park.
The core ideal of this project is the sacrifice of the individual common citizen who has worn the uniform of the US Military and who has diligently worked for the betterment of our country. This concept is the key to understanding the intricacies of the Park and its installations."
