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.

Returning Home — Almost Home
As you can see from this short video, we’re getting closer!
Returning Home is now in the final stages of production, and seeing this extraordinary bronze sculpture come to life is something special. Our thanks to Sutton Betti, whose artistic genius brought this meaningful sculpture to life!
Soon, it will make its own journey home to Dana Point, where it will stand permanently at Heritage Park as a tribute to the reunions, sacrifices, and unwavering love shared by our military families.
Every detail brings us one step closer to October 28 and a day we’ve been working toward for a very long time.
The wait is almost over. Returning Home is almost 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.
