In the first week of October, The American Legion’s online memorial database stood at 3,890 entries from around the world of military monuments and memorials stretching back even before the Revolutionary War. It debuted in November 2016 as part of both the Legion’s centennial celebration and its defense of such structures in the face of efforts to remove some with religious symbolism from the public arena.
To celebrate the beginning of fall, The American Legion is beginning a push to grow the database to 4,000 by Memorial Day 2027 – May 31. An online form makes it easy to gather and submit information on monuments and memorials as well as upload photos, even from a mobile device. The database is searchable by state or keyword; see what has already been listed in your area, then get started on filling in the gaps.
