We were privileged to host a special rededication ceremony yesterday in the Medal of Honor Grove on our Valley Forge campus, honoring six recipients of the Medal of Honor and their extraordinary courage and selflessness. We also welcomed speakers Major General James E. Livingston, USMC (Ret.), Medal of Honor recipient, and Martha Raddatz, Chief Global Affairs Correspondent for ABC News.
The ceremony was followed by six State memorial observances which included the reading of each honoree's Medal of Honor citation, the unveiling of their commemorative plaque, and the ceremonial planting of a redbud tree.
Here among the trees in the Medal of Honor Grove—the nation's oldest living memorial dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients—we remember, honor, and celebrate the lives and legacies of these American heroes.

We want to congratulate Founding Forward Board of Trustees member Mark Merlini on his completion of the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, DC this past Sunday!
Mark raised $15,229 for the @travismanionfoundation through donations from others, and personally matched this with a $15,229 donation to Founding Forward. Running with him were Union League Board Members Ryan Peters and Mike Maher, who also fundraised for the event.

Happy National Civics Day! Today we commemorate the date in 1787 when the first of the Federalist Papers—authored by Founding Fathers Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay—were published, making the case to the American people for the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution.
In America's 250th year of independence, we at Founding Forward take this moment to reflect on the value of civic education and discourse, and the mission at the core of everything we do: to cultivate and inspire responsible and engaged citizens. #NationalCivicsDay

The students are back! We’re thrilled to kick off another Spirit of America program this week on our Valley Forge campus in the beautiful fall weather.
Through an inspiring and immersive four-day program, the students will experience mock congressional debates, participate in a free enterprise challenge, visit historical sites, and engage in interactive educational activities. Students will get to explore opportunities for future contributions to society while finding common ground as Americans with fellow peers from across the country. #Students #SpiritofAmerica

From the Vault:
Arguably Philadelphia’s greatest architect, Horace Trumbauer joined @theunionleague in 1905, and was selected to design what we today call the 15th Street and Middle sections of the League House. His sweeping new additions opened in 1910 and 1911, respectively—helping to make the Union League the historic architectural marvel it remains today. These blueprints and drawings, held in Founding Forward’s collection, depict those additions.
Founding Forward is the steward of a vast historical collection of objects, art, archives, books, and manuscripts, many of them from the American Civil War period. Follow along with us each month as we showcase more interesting and important artifacts from our vault.

136 years ago today, Dwight D. Eisenhower was born in Denison, Texas.
Brought up in the small town of Abilene, Kansas, Eisenhower would grow up to become one of the titanic American figures of the 20th century: five-star general, head of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) who made the decision for the D-Day landings in Normandy in June 1944, and President of the United States.
President Eisenhower would also serve as one of the co-founders of Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge, a predecessor organization of Founding Forward. He personally laid the cornerstone of our Martha Washington Building, the first structure on Founding Forward’s Valley Forge campus, which is currently undergoing an exciting renovation project.
