The Veterans’ Memorial Park and Education Center Society in Matamoras has announced a special initiative to honor women veterans of Pike County and the surrounding areas. A new Women Veterans Memorial will be dedicated on June 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM, and the organization is preparing a commemorative booklet recognizing the women who have served our nation.
Women have contributed to the United States military as far back as the Revolutionary War, beginning in support roles and progressing over 200 years to full military status. The upcoming ceremony and publication aim to celebrate that legacy and highlight the service of local women who answered the call to serve.
The Society is inviting all women veterans who currently live in Pike County, previously lived in the county, or attended school in the area to be included in the booklet. Relatives may also submit information on behalf of a veteran. There is no fee to participate, and applications must be submitted by March 15, 2026.
Applications may be submitted by scanning the form (linked below) via the QR code provided in the announcement or by contacting klvetspark@gmail.com.
Submissions can also be mailed to:
Veterans' Memorial Park and Education Center Society
P.O. Box 303
Matamoras, PA 18336
Sponsorship opportunities are available at various levels for individuals or organizations wishing to support the project and help honor the region’s women veterans.
The June 12 dedication is open to the community, and the Veterans’ Memorial Park and Education Center Society invites all residents to attend and recognize the contributions and service of these heroic women.
