The World War II Memorial was dedicated in May 2004. It is a long overdue tribute to the men and women who sacrificed so much for our freedom, and a memorial to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Regrettably, many of these aging vets have been unable to visit their memorial in a conventional way on their own due to lack of funds or travel impediments. Through volunteer guardians who pay their own way, we overcome many of the problems and escort them on this “trip of a lifetime.” These all-expense-paid, one-day trips to the nation’s capital occur April – November as donations permit.
*Korean War Veterans are those who served between June 25, 1950 to January 31, 1955.

'It's the Military who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.'
