Wear Blue: Run to Remember – Honoring Service, Right Where It Began
On Friday, December 12, 2025, America’s Credit Union welcomed our community into the DuPont Headquarters lobby for Capturing Honor, a pop‑up photo gallery and reception celebrating Wear Blue: Run to Remember — an organization born here in DuPont and dedicated to active remembrance of our military’s service and sacrifice.
It was a powerful homecoming. The organization’s founder, Lisa, was with us in person, sharing her journey and the DuPont roots of wear blue — reminding everyone that what began as a local act of remembrance has grown into a nationwide movement that connects, heals, and honors.
A DuPont legacy of remembrance
Wear blue started in DuPont in 2009 and has since built a community of runners, families, and supporters who memorialize the fallen and support those who serve. Its mission — honoring the service and sacrifice of the American military through active remembrance — guided the evening and the artwork on display.

Thank you to our partners
This reception was organized by the DuPont Chamber of Commerce — with special thanks to Portland Williams, Executive Director of the Chamber, for bringing forward the proposal and working closely with our team to make the evening possible.
We also thank the City of DuPont and the volunteers from wear blue who helped curate and share stories behind the images.
