Patriot Plaza MORALE Unveiling
Category: BELONGING AND CULTURE: Uniting Community, The Patterson Foundation,
A few years ago, the photographs in the Testimonies tablets at Patriot Plaza endured unexpected weathering and required replacement.

The “new” tablets would be modified for interior exhibition and hosted by agencies whose work with veteran services stood out.
The Community Foundation of Sarasota County (CFSC), which holds and stewards the Patriot Plaza endowment fund, hosted the final installation celebration on December 2, 2024, which included an explanation of the Testimonies tablets.
