Harrisburg 1st Annual Veterans Memorial

Harrisburg's 1st Veterans Memorial falls on June 13th, 2026.  This is an important date to Harrisburg, because 1st Lt. Russell Quinn, was killed during World War II on June 13th, 1944, when his plane was shot down outside of Breal-sous-Montfort, Brittany, France, after he was returning from a bombing run.  Lt. Quinn was raised here in Harrisburg, in the same house that our Mayor now lives in.

Our Sister City, in Breal, honors the sacrifice made by Lt. Quinn every year.  They celebrate how France was liberated by the United States and our allies.  We are proud to make changes so that Harrisburg now recognizes our Veterans, as well as those serving now, on behalf of the United States of America!
