The 2027 PJ Association Reunion
A Reunion With a Lasting Purpose
Honor Service. Remember Sacrifice. “That Others May Live.”
The Pararescue Memorial is a permanent place at Davis-Monthan AFB where teammates, families, and future generations can pause, reflect, and understand the human legacy of Pararescue service— a bronze Pararescueman at the center of a gathering space, framed by granite pillars honoring our history and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Put Your Name in the Story
Each campaign brick carries your name and service dates, set into the walkway leading to the memorial — a lasting record of service, and a way to help preserve 80 years of Pararescue history and sacrifice. Donors are joining together to fill an approximately 40-foot paver walkway, each name a step closer to the memorial.
