Court of Honor
This memorial continues our community's rich heritage of honoring persons from Derry Township who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The original Court of Honor was dedicated November 7, 1943 at the Hershey Community Center across Cocoa Avenue from this site. On September 20, 1947, two bronze plaques bearing names of 1,238 Derry Township "Defenders of America" were dedicated replacing the original frames, which contained 864 names. On Memorial Day, 1982, the bronze plaques were rededicated and supplemented at the Cocoa Avenue Plaza.

Dedicated November 11, 2024
