The Connecticut Fallen Heroes Foundation, Inc. is a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to “Always Remembering” the brave men and women from Connecticut and across our nation who made the ultimate sacrifice or lost their lives while serving in uniform.
Through our Annual Memorial Tribute and other commemorative efforts, we honor their service, remember their sacrifice, and ensure that their names and stories are never forgotten.
Our Annual Memorial Tribute is held each year on the Saturday before Gold Star Mothers and Families Day in September, bringing Gold Star Families, veterans, fellow service members, and members of our community together to remember those who gave everything in service to our country.
We remain committed to keeping their memory alive and honoring the families who continue to carry their legacy.
