Mission and programs · 2023

Primary exempt purpose

DESIGN, BUILD AND MAINTAIN A MEMORIAL TO ALL VETRANS AND THEIR FAMILIES OF PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE MILITARY CONFLICTS.

  • TO HONOR THOSE WHO SERVED IN A TIME OF WAR AND ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES SERVING THEIR COUNTRY. THE MEMORIAL WILL DEMONSTRATE OUR COMMUNITY'S COMMITMENT TO OUR VETERANS WHO HAVE MADE SUCH GREAT SACRIFICES.

  • TO EDUCATE ALL WHO VISIT ON HOW WAR EFFECTS EVERYONE. VISITORS WILL GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE SACRIFICES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE THROUGHOUT AMERICAN HISTORY DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY; BOTH ON THE WARFRONT AND AT HOME.

  • TO GATHER TOGETHER TO PAY RESPECT. THIS WILL TAKE ON MANY FORMS INCLUDING VETERAN'S DAY CELEBRATIONS, CONCERTS, COMMEMORATIVE GATHERINGS HONORING SPECIFIC INDIVIDUALS AND/OR HISTORIC EVENTS AND MORE.

As filed on the 2023 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 9 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 November 2021, reinstated 15 November 2021.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
