about HOME FRONT HEROES DAY

The first official recognition of the date of May 9 as Home Front Heroes Day was on May 9, 2019, in Dallas, Texas. 


The inaugural event was created for residents of John "Lucky" Luckadoo's retirement community, Presbyterian Village North, a Forefront Living community. Ceremonies included the presentation of a proclamation by Dallas City Councilmember Adam McGough from the Office of the Mayor/City of Dallas and the Dallas City Council.


On May 6, 2022, Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX-32) and Congressman Jake Ellzey (R-TX-06) introduced a bipartisan resolution supporting the effort to designate May 9 annually as Home Front Heroes Day.
