On July 15, 1951, Reading Municipal Memorial Stadium was dedicated to preserve the memory of the men and women of the community who served in the armed forces of the nation in times of war. These veterans answered the call of duty, left their homes, and served with honor and sacrifice. The tribute was dedicated to them by the people of the City of Reading, and the stadium was built to honor local servicemen and servicewomen who risked their lives for their country. As a memorial, it continues to pay tribute to veterans through a ceremonial flag flown at each game to honor a specific veteran, remembering their dedication to the country at every home game.
