Livewire Digital Powers Fallen Heroes Memorial Kiosk at Prospect Hill Cemetery

Livewire Digital is pleased to announce the deployment of its eConcierge? kiosk and digital signage software for the Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery Heritage Foundation. The interactive digital sign was unveiled during a Veteran's Day weekend ceremony, and features photos and information of over 6,600 soldiers lost in Iraq and Afghanistan.

York, PA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

In a Veteran's Day weekend ceremony at Prospect Hill Cemetery, a new digital Fallen Heroes memorial was unveiled to the public. The 46" touchscreen-based digital sign honors the more than 6,600 soldiers killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars by rotating through pictures submitted by families of the deceased. The pictures range from birthday celebrations, to holiday get-togethers, and to ski trips, allowing visitors to view the more personal side of these heroes.

The project was the result of a promise Historic Prospect Hill Cemetery Heritage Foundation President Jack Sommer made to local families in 2010 when the cemetery retired a temporary memorial of over 4,400 flags representing the soldiers lost in Iraq. Encased in black granite, the interactive digital sign represents a "more fitting, permanent memorial" according to Sommer. The cemetery worked with local businesses for two years to make the vision a reality.

Livewire Digital, a Patriot Sponsor, provided the technology behind the memorial. Its eConcierge digital signage and content management system powers the display's rotation of photos. At the touch of a finger on the screen, visitors may search for soldiers by name, state, branch of service, and date of death. An additional touch on the search results yields more photos and information about each soldier.

Livewire's CEO, David McCracken comments "Livewire Digital is proud to be a sponsor of the memorial. These men and women have made the ultimate sacrifice for all Americans, and this is just one small way to pay tribute to them."

The digital sign utilizes a hi-bright LCD screen which allows it to be easily seen during daylight hours. "It's really unique," says Sommer. "We have the ability to show the photos of every U.S. service person who (gave) their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan." York-based Gamlet, Inc. donated the metal fixtures and expertise in securing the LCD to the granite.

Gold Star families of fallen soldiers may send pictures to fallenheroes (at) prospecthill (dot) org for inclusion in the digital signage display.
