About this Event
Join the Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton Memorial Fund Committee in honoring Harford County's only native Medal of Honor recipient on Thursday, May 2, 2024.
The evening begins at 4:30PM with a Ceremony at the Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton Memorial at David R. Craig Park, 553-559 North Union Avenue, Havre de Grace. We will raise a replica of the US Flag that was presented to Sgt. Hilton's unit just before they went off to fight. Note: You can forgo this part of the event and begin the evening at the Seaplane Base at 5:30PM.
At 5:30PM, we will convene at short distance away at the Seaplane Base, 309 St John St, Havre De Grace to continue our memorial activities. The fundraiser will feature a guest speaker (to be announced); a bountiful dinner buffet; soft drinks, wine, beer and a signature drink; musical entertainment and a silent auction.
All funds raised from this event will go towards the Annual Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton Scholarship, which is awarded through Harford Community College. Additionally, funds raised will support the Harford County United States Colored Troops (USCT) Grave Preservation Project and will support education of the public about Sgt. Alfred B. Hilton.
