Elevate Falcon Field Airport and WWII-era Hangars to National Historical Landmark Status

The Issue

Deeply moved by the historical significance of World War II hangars at Falcon Field Airport. These structures are not just buildings; they represent a time when war was happening worldwide, and brave soldiers were fighting for our freedom. Their courage and bravery deserve recognition beyond our local community.

Falcon Field Airport, with its World War II-era hangars, is currently recognized as a local historical landmark. However, this status does not provide enough funding or preservation efforts needed to maintain these important pieces of history. Upgrading it to a national historical landmark would open up access to national preservation funds and ensure that future generations can learn from this pivotal period in our history.

According to the National Park Service (NPS), there are over 2,600 National Historic Landmarks in the United States that tell an important story about America's heritage (NPS). Yet despite their importance in shaping world history during one of humanity's most challenging times, WWII-era hangars like those at Falcon Field remain underrepresented on this list.

By signing this petition, you support upgrading Falcon Field Airport from a local historical landmark to a national one. This will help preserve these significant structures for future generations while honoring the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought during World War II. Please sign today!
