Programs and results
What we aim to solve
100 years ago, 4.7 million Americans served their country in the armed forces during World War I; 116,516 of these men and women perished during the war - more than the men and women lost in the Korean and Vietnam War combined. Despite this, a century later the veterans of World War I still do not have a national memorial dedicated to them in Washington, DC. Working with the US World War I Centennial Commission (the federal agency charged with coordinating centennial commemorations), the US Foundation for the Commemoration of the World Wars will raise funds for and build America's World War I. For more information, please visit www.ww1cc.org/memorial.
