Throughout our nation’s history, service men and women have gone bravely into battle, risking their lives and livelihoods, sacrificing their safety to defend America. When their duty is done, many return home forever changed by their service. Leaving the battlefield does not mark the end of conflict. Leaving service does not mean the scars of illness or injury disappear. These heroes often carry home life-altering disabilities – stern reminders of the price of freedom and those who defend it.
America’s disabled veterans have honored us with their service and selfless duty. It is now our turn to honor them.
Through the American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial, America pays tribute to some of our most courageous heroes – our disabled veterans. This memorial celebrates those men and women who may have been broken in body – but never in spirit.
