Deer Park High School proudly unveiled its Deer Park Wall of Honor on May 29, serving as a lasting
tribute to the school’s alumni who honorably served in the U.S. Armed Forces following
graduation. Constructed by the school’s Patriot Club, the Wall of Honor recognizes graduates
who answered the call to serve in the U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and
U.S. Coast Guard. The unveiling ceremony brought together veterans, families, students, staff and community members to celebrate the service and sacrifice of these distinguished alumni.
The vision for the Wall of Honor was first developed in 2017 by former Patriot Club adviser Laurie Osbern. After years of research, data collection, club fundraising efforts, renovation delays and dedication from countless individuals, the project was finally brought to fruition with the guidance of current club advisers Joe Alo and Lisa Kiernan.
The Wall of Honor now stands as a permanent reminder of the courage, commitment and patriotism demonstrated by Deer Park graduates who have served the nation with honor.
“This display is an
important reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served our country,” Osbern said. “I believe that supporting and honoring our veterans should rise above personal beliefs and politics, because their service helped secure the freedoms and opportunities we all enjoy today. Its placement in the main lobby of our high school makes that message especially meaningful, as it will be seen every day by students, staff, families and community members. I hope it encourages reflection and a greater appreciation for the sacrifices that have helped shape the lives we are fortunate to live. It is a small but meaningful way to express our gratitude and ensure their contributions are never forgotten.”

The celebration will begin on Saturday, July 4, with the FourLeaf America 250 Fireworks at Jones Beach, followed by the FourLeaf Air Show on Sunday, July 5 and Monday, July 6. Together, the events will create one of New York State’s signature Semiquincentennial celebrations, bringing hundreds of thousands of visitors to Jones Beach for a weekend honoring the nation’s history, military service and spirit of independence.
As announced by Governor Kathy Hochul as part of New York State’s America 250 commemoration, the special holiday weekend will combine two of Long Island’s most anticipated summer traditions - the FourLeaf Air Show at Jones Beach, one of the nation’s most preeminent air shows and a cherished Long Island institution, and a spectacular beachfront fireworks display - for a once in a generation celebration.
U.S. Navy Blue Angels will be joined by distinguished military demonstration teams from Canada and the United Kingdom. This historic international collaboration will create a display unlike anything previously seen at Jones Beach and one of the most distinctive air show lineups ever presented in the United States.
The 2026 lineup includes the first-ever New York appearance of the Royal Air Force Red Arrows, one of the world’s most renowned aerial demonstration teams, and the return of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds to Long Island for the first time since 2018. Also joining the celebration from the United Kingdom will be the British Army Parachute Display Team – Red Devils. Additional U.S. military performers include the United States Army Golden Knights, the 106th Rescue Wing, and the 105th Airlift Wing featuring the C-17 Globemaster III flyover.
Jones Beach into one of New York’s signature destinations for America’s Semiquincentennial celebration,” said George Gorman, Regional Director of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. “With the Blue Angels returning, international performers joining the lineup, and our annual fireworks spectacular lighting up the shoreline, these will be the perfect events for families to celebrate our country’s history at one of Long Island’s most iconic locations.”
