Flagpole Fundraiser

The Missouri Military Memorial Foundation monument is almost complete after 6 1/2 long years of grassroots fundraising.

The structure and graphic work that will be engraved on the memorial is  being completed as I type this. The excitement of seeing all of our hard work in honoring Missouri’s fallen military personnel come to light is INTENSE.

In the meantime, we have found out that we need another $6000 to get three beautiful flagpoles installed at the memorial. If you can find it in your heart to help us reach that goal we would be grateful. EVERY single dollar helps!

In order to donate, simply visit our website at www.MissouriMilitary.org and click on the “Donate Now” tab. You can use secure PayPal or submit the donation via USPS. Please make the check payable to the Missouri Military Memorial Foundation and submit it to:

MISSOURI MILITARY MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
PO BOX 1772
FENTON, MO 63026

All of our fundraisers have one goal in common: to raise money so that we can build a memorial to honor Missouri’s fallen military personnel who were killed in action or a casualty of war during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom and the Desert Storm/Shield wars; this is our Phase Two project.

Our Phase One project, the Gold Star Pavilion, was erected at Jefferson Barrack Park in 2014. To see more pictures, and learn more about our nonprofit, please visit our About section on this website.
