Past Construction Activities
The United States Armed Forces Legacy Project
was established  to honor men and women of
our armed forces.  The Project site had to
undergo extensive ground preparation before
the first basalt pillars could be placed.
Pillars represent  the 5 armed services.  The
US Flag flies atop the 50 foot flagpole.
This model depicts how the Legacy Project will look when fully
constructed.

The service officer building will have a research library.  A qualified
service officer will be available to help veterans obtain benefits such as
medical coverage.

Your donations and support help us get closer to completion each day.
