The Vietnam Wall and the massive granite columns of the World War II Memorial are some of the first things you picture when you think about war memorials – beautiful shrines honoring the men and women who sacrificed so much during those long-ago wars.
Several younger veterans are hoping to make the same possible for those who served and are still serving in the nation’s longest war – the Global War on Terror.

The Global War on Terrorism Memorial Foundation is organizing efforts to build a memorial on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to honor U.S. service members, their families and all who have supported our troops during the past 15 years of war.
