SPRINGFIELD COMMUNITY -

REMEMBERING & HONORING OUR

FALLEN & MISSING HEROES

280 men and two women from Delaware County, including Springfield, perished in World War I as recorded on the memorial at the entrance of Smedley Park in Nether Providence Township, PA. Since then, Springfield residents have paid the price of 42 additional young lives, leaving their families and friends to grieve.

While we honor all of our nation’s fallen each Memorial Day, since 2010, the Springfield community, led by Post 227, has focused its Memorial Day remembrances on a different hometown hero each year. In 2019, we honored and paid tribute to the life, sacrifice, legacy, and family of Captain William G. Chandler, U. S. Army, killed in Vietnam August 11, 1972.
