This July 4th, help Memories of Honor preserve the Boots of Honor Memorial — 7,470 combat boots honoring U.S. service members killed in combat since 9/11.

Freedom is not an idea.

It has names. It has families. It has birthdays that still come. Empty chairs at dinner tables. Children who grow up with stories instead of memories. Parents who still say their child’s name because America should, too.

The Boots of Honor Memorial is made of 7,470 individual combat boots — each one representing a U.S. service member killed in combat since 9/11.

Each boot stands for one life.

One family.
One story that still matters.

For more than a decade, this memorial lived behind military gates. Now, Memories of Honor is working to preserve it, restore missing boots, and bring it into public spaces where more Americans can walk the formation, see the cost of freedom, and remember.

This July 4th, as America prepares to mark its 250th birthday, we are asking people to do more than celebrate freedom.

We are asking them to help carry the names forward.

Your gift helps preserve the Boots of Honor Memorial, support remembrance programming, replace missing boots, and ensure families of the fallen know their loved ones have not been forgotten.

Give today. Stand watch with us.
