OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EVERY DAY MEMORIAL DAY
We create living memorials to honor those lost during or due to service so their memory will live on for generations. We strive to provide meaningful experiences for the bereaved and an opportunity for the community to pay their respects and learn from these stories of courage, service, and sacrifice.
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
Unlike other organizations that provide tangible support like housing or scholarships to families of fallen service members, Memories of Honor offers something equally vital but intangible. We ensure that the service, sacrifice, and life of their loved ones are never forgotten. A Gold Star father once shared with us, “We die twice. The first time is when we take our last breath. The second and final death is the last time someone speaks our name.” At Memories of Honor, we make sure that the second and final death never happens. We collaborate with brands, sports teams, organizations, musicians, and visitor bureaus nationwide to provide heartfelt emotional support to families who have lost a loved one. We create opportunities for the public to learn about these heroes, engage with their families, and make new memories, even in their absence. Our goal is to provide surviving families with a sense of belonging, connection, and meaningful ways to honor and remember their loved ones, while gently reminding Americans that freedom isn’t free.
