Returning Home Sculpture:
A Tribute to Our Military and Homefront Heroes
DEDICATION CEREMONY FOR RETURNING HOME
SLATED FOR OCTOBER 28TH, 10 A.M.
After years of planning and a strong partnership with the City of Dana Point, we are proud to announce that this inspiring new landmark to Heritage Park on Old Golden Lantern will be formally dedicated then.
This special ceremony will celebrate the sacrifices of our service members and the families who stand beside them, while unveiling a lasting tribute to those who have served our nation. The public is warmly invited to join us for this special dedication ceremony. Guests are encouraged to bring their own chairs, as a limited number of seats will be reserved for designated guests.
Construction has begun!
It may look like a construction site today, but something very special is taking shape. The photos below show the preliminary work underway in the very area that will soon become the permanent home of Returning Home.

A Powerful Companion Tribute
From Tuesday, October 27 – Friday, October 30, we are deeply grateful to our generous sponsor, Anduril Industries, for bringing the Remembering Our Fallen National Memorial to Heritage Park.
This extraordinary traveling exhibit features 35 towers honoring over 5,500 service members who have fallen since 9/11. It also pays tribute to those lost in training accidents and to those who later succumbed to the wounds of war, including PTS. The alignment of this memorial with our dedication will profoundly deepen the meaning and impact of this special time.
