The War Memorial Foundation is a non-profit organization with the aim to raise funds to preserve the history of the veterans that have served this great Nation and to work with North Carolina communities to preserve the past, present and future of the armed forces legacy. 

Funds go to the building or renovation of memorial parks, monuments and facilities, and projects that educate and preserve 20th and 21st American military history.

Our Mission
To honor the service of the men and women of the United States Armed Forces and to educate families and children who live in freedom

All veterans have friends from their service years that influenced them, supported them, helped them, taught them something, made them laugh or cry.  Our mission is to help preserve those memories.

Most Americans have a Veteran in their family.  Most us have memories of a relative being in the military, or how it felt when a loved one was away, or at the dinner table, hearing a few phases in a foreign language learned while on tour somewhere in the world.  Our mission is to help to preserve their memory.

The future of our country’s freedom depends on raising future generations to know the honor of serving their country.  Our mission is to help children to know the stories of the many memories of Veterans and their families.

Major Projects

The Carolina Field of Honor
In 2009, through a joint resolution between Forsythe and Guilford Counties in North Carolina, the location for a memorial park, called the Carolina Field of Honor, was established in the Triad Park.  Efforts are underway to raise the funds for construction. 

We believe without knowledge there is no memory.  Yet living and walking among us are every day heroes from Iwo-Jima, Saipan, Guadalcanal, Okinawa, Midway, the Philippines, Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Kosovo, Somalia, Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq and many other expeditionary missions and peacetime assignments. 

The park will serve as a timeline to these conflicts that brought fathers, mothers, sons and daughters to the front lines of freedom.
