Our Mission

​​Rekindle Our Country's Sacred Duty To Never Forget Or Forsake Those Who Serve And Sacrifice For America

​

• Ensure those who served, serve, or will serve will never be forgotten, particularly those who made the ultimate sacrifice or who never returned
• Reunite America with the sense of patriotism and principles that define our national identity
