Their Legacy Deserves Better

The National World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. tells the story of a generation that saved the world.

It honors 16 million Americans who served in uniform, the more than 400,000 who gave their lives, and the millions more who supported the war effort from home. For two decades, it has stood in our nation’s capital as a place of remembrance, reflection, and gratitude.

But now, this national treasure is at risk.

Years of exposure have left cracks in its stone. Inscriptions are fading. Mechanical systems are failing. Without urgent repairs, the Memorial’s beauty, safety, and meaning will continue to deteriorate.

That’s why Friends of the National World War II Memorial has launched Project 50—a $50 million campaign to restore and protect the Memorial before it’s too late.

Your donation today will help repair damage, restore its inscriptions and features, and ensure this sacred place continues to honor the Greatest Generation and inspire all who visit for decades to come.
