Stand To Honor Event Salutes America's Fallen Servicemen & Women

Folds of Honor is proud to announce that it is hosting "Stand to Honor" at Calvert Hall College High School in Towson, Md., beginning Friday, September 13th and continuing through Sunday, September 15th. Two weeks later, a second one-day event will take place at The Village at Waugh Chapel in Gambrills, Md., on Saturday, September 28th. Both events will begin with opening ceremonies, including a color guard and the singing of the national anthem.

The "Stand to Honor" event is an initiative dedicated to helping the Folds of Honor organization fund scholarships for spouses and children of America's fallen and disabled U.S. servicemen and women.

Participants can donate $25 to stand for thirteen minutes on a platform that contains the boot imprints of a fallen U.S. service-member. The number thirteen represents the thirteen folds of an American burial flag given to the families of a fallen service member. All of the 13 platforms were built and assembled for the event by Hayes Construction including one platform that is wheelchair accessible.

"Freedom isn't free and we take great pride in honoring our service members who make sacrifices for their country by helping to support their families that were left behind," said Allen Wronowski, Director of Golf Development and Relations, Folds of Honor. "Participants at our two special events across the region will have the honor to stand for 13 minutes in fallen soldiers' boot imprints to 'Honor Their Sacrifice by Educating Their Legacy' and help raise money for educational scholarships for our local military families."

Since 2007, Folds of Honor has awarded more than 20,000 educational scholarships in all 50 states. Folds of Honor's motto is: Honor Their Sacrifice. Educate Their Legacy.
