For more than two decades, men, women, and their families have chosen country over self in the Global War on Terrorism. Their belief and their courage must be remembered.
It is for all of them that we will build a Memorial honoring their valor. 🇺🇸
This #MemorialDay we invite you to join us and the @NatlParkService at 8 a.m. ET as we honor the more than 7,000 brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice. Experience the playing of Taps by @ww1memorialdc, echoing across the @NationalMallNPS.
In July 2023, we established the Design Advisory Council. This collaborative approach ensured the Memorial reflects the multifaceted experiences and sacrifices of all who served in the GWOT. Meet the team and learn more: https://t.co/J1QqXy4Shr
More than 4.4 million Americans served in the GWOT and over 7,000 gave their lives. Countless families have carried the weight of that sacrifice. On #GivingTuesday, help us build a Memorial that honors every story of service. Your donation will be matched. https://t.co/UfICaPkgmG
One week after 9/11, the Authorization for Use of Military Force was signed into law, becaming the legal foundation for the GWOT. Brave men & women from every corner of our Nation answered the call to serve. Join us in building a Memorial for their valor: https://t.co/eFoeyNuEzO

Thoughts on #MemorialDay from @FlorentGroberg:
"Today, we remember the best of us. Memorial Day is not a celebration—it’s a reckoning. A moment where the silence speaks louder than any anthem, and the weight of memory reminds us what it means to live in a free nation." 🇺🇸
Each story shared, each memory honored, brings us together in grief and gratitude. Thank you for carrying the load with us as we remember and celebrate our brave heroes. #AlwaysRemember#CarryTheLoad
