ANNUAL MEMORIAL ILLUMINATION
Located at the Resaca de la Palma Battlefield in Brownsville Texas, Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park was established in 1992, to preserve and interpret the site of the first battle of the war between the United States and Mexico. The annual Memorial Illumination is an opportunity to highlight the service of troops from both armies during the early battles of the U.S.- Mexican War. The event attempts to push beyond debates over a controversial war, to recognize individual soldiers and honor their service and sacrifices for their respective nations. The event is one of only a handful of programs nationwide to light up historic battlefields to honor those who served. This is the only program of its kind to Honor Veterans of the U.S.-Mexican War. Read more. The event is free of charge. Lighting is dependent on favorable weather conditions.
