A 15 minute Documentary Short Film “SIXTH OF JUNE” Produced by Rylan Soref and Directed by Henry Roosevelt that was initiated by Operation Democracy and supported by the David Knott Family Foundation; recently won the Santa Barbara Film Festival in its category.
In 2023, through our longstanding relationship with Operation Democracy, The Patton Foundation learned of our town, Locust Valley, NY and the unique relationship, as sister cities with Sainte Mere-Eglise in Normandy, France. The Patton Legacy Sports Foundation entrusted Locust Valley School District to host the first, state-side Remembrance Bowl, played at our Homecoming on September 23, 2023. In addition, we also created a K-12 Remembrance Project Curriculum that will link American history specifically WW2, patriotism and understanding of what Americans sacrificed for freedom throughout the world linking traditional academics and athletics.
