The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) Memorial Foundation has a designated site and a designer for its national memorial in Washington, D.C. The foundation is asking for the public’s help in designing “the most inclusive war memorial in American history.”
Our Vision and Mission
In 2017, Congress designated the Foundation as the entity authorized to plan, fund, and build a Memorial. Our vision for the Memorial is for it to be an inclusive, reverent, and apolitical place of honor for all who have served and sacrificed in the ongoing Global War on Terrorism, as well as the countless civilians, family members, and others who have supported them. The Memorial will:
Honor: Salute all who served in this conflict: service members, civilians, and their families.
Heal: Provide a focal point for healing and reflection on a complex, multigenerational conflict.
Empower: Engage and educate civilian and military communities to build mutual understanding.
Unite: Foster and sustain the sense of patriotism that brought all Americans together in the wake of 9/11, and catalyze support for those continuing to serve.
