Honoring Our Fallen: Flags of Valor 2026

Patriot Training Foundation is proud to once again support Flags of Valor as it returns to Art Hill in Forest Park, St. Louis, MO, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 09•11•01.

From September 5–13, 2026, Art Hill will be transformed into a powerful memorial landscape featuring 7,650 American flags. Each flag honors a service member lost in the War on Terror, 9/11 victims, first responders, or those lost to 9/11-related illnesses and PTSD. Every flag is individually personalized with a photograph and dog tag to tell the story of a fallen hero.

Please visit our team of volunteers at our table in the plaza at the top of Art Hill.

About Patriot Training Foundation

The Patriot Training Foundation is an all-volunteer 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization that provides a multitude of training subjects for law enforcement and military without cost.

Since 2004, we’ve trained future and current military in leadership, fitness, weapons, combatives, medical, water confidence, land navigation and tactics. In 2014, we began offering our program to law enforcement departments. Our 389-acre facility an hour west of St. Louis provides unparalleled realistic training via multiple kinetic and critical decision-making ranges. Remote, moving targets and IR training gear further the value of our training. Our program is still provided without cost and is used by many of the tactical teams, ERT’s, SRU’s, snipers and individual officers that serve our region.   

Our funding comes from patriotic individuals and corporations who agree that truly supporting a cause involves more than wearing a t-shirt or placing a sticker on a bumper.  We are proud to support the honorable people who wear a law enforcement or military uniform and selflessly serve our nation and community. 

Our Military Impact

Since 2004, the Patriot Training Foundation has given young men and women a distinct advantage as they pursue an officer’s commission in the Armed Forces of the United States or enlist with a combat or lifesaving contract.  As a result, our trainees arrive ready to perform and lead at a very high level in an exceptionally competitive environment.  PTF provides training without cost in the areas of leadership, fitness, fieldcraft, marksmanship, medical and water competency.  These officers and enlisted personnel serve or have served in every branch of the military, including Special Operations units such as the 75th Ranger Regiment, Special Forces and SEALs. We also provide contracted training to the Special Operations community.

Over the course of the last year, our trainees have earned numerous Cadet/Midshipmen of the Month and Semester awards, Honor Graduate Awards, first choices of jobs and duty stations after graduation, successful completion of the selection process for the special operations community and Cadet Steis earned the Navy Federal Credit Union’s National AFROTC Cadet of the Year award.  During and after their service ends, they enter the community as true leaders and mentor the new generation of PTF trainees.

Our Law Enforcement Impact

Since 2014, the Patriot Training Foundation has provided support to local, state and federal law enforcement departments.  Our 389-acre training facility is exceptionally suited to allow for large scale movements and a multitude of scenario-based training.  

In a recent 10-day period, PTF hosted more than 200 officers from five departments.  

Two of PTF’s courses are POST certified which counts toward annual required training.

PTF often supplies or supplements ammunition for departments that cannot acquire or afford to provide it.

In some cases, PTF provides training that has been lost to budget shortfalls or reallocation.
