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, Memorial Day remembrances in the Springfield community, led by Post 227, focused on a different hometown heroes each year. In 2020, we honor and pay tribute to the life, sacrifice, and family of Private First Class George P. Talbot, U.S. Army, killed in Germany, March 12, 1945.
