Find out the latest on the production of The Traveling Beirut Memorial Wall, as well as fundraising and scheduled stops!
The Traveling Beirut Memorial Wall is no longer just a vision, it is becoming a reality.
With the approval of the City of Jacksonville and the blessing of the original sculptor, The Traveling Beirut Memorial Wall will faithfully replicate the permanent Beirut Memorial Wall in Jacksonville, North Carolina, while making it possible for thousands of Americans to experience this powerful tribute closer to home.
Construction is actively underway, and thanks to the generosity of veterans, military organizations, businesses, and individual supporters across the country, significant progress has already been made. Every donation helps fund materials, construction, transportation, educational outreach, and the Memorial’s travels to host communities nationwide.
Together, we are preserving the legacy of those who made the ultimate sacrifice and ensuring future generations understand the courage, service, and sacrifice of America’s Beirut veterans.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to help complete the Memorial and support its mission of remembrance, education, and healing.
Follow our progress through our website and Facebook page as we continue building a memorial that will travel the nation, honor our heroes, and keep their memories alive.
