A GWOT Memorial for All
For over two decades, members of the armed forces, civilians, and their families have courageously answered the call of duty in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT.) The GWOT Memorial will be a lasting tribute for all who have served and sacrificed in this ongoing conflict. The Foundation strives for the Memorial to be an inclusive and reverent place of honor and healing where Americans may come to be empowered and unite behind a shared love for country and gratitude for those protecting our sacred freedoms.
