The President’s Birthday Challenge
A Celebration of Service. A Commitment to Remember.
This year’s President’s Birthday Challenge looks a little different.
No skydiving.
No stair climbs.
No dramatic stunts.
Health has required something quieter. Something more meaningful.
And this year, the theme is the number 7.
77th Birthday
57th Anniversary of the Memorial
27th Year of Veteran Advocacy
17 Years Since Tony’s Passing

We will be saying their names and telling their stories throughout the day.
We will be livestreaming on Facebook all day for those who cannot attend in person.
You are invited to come for as long as you like. Say your hero’s name. Share a few sentences about their story. Make a gift in their honor.
Help Us Keep the Lights On and the Flags Flying
Your donation supports the daily mission of the Memorial — preserving stories, honoring the fallen, and standing with veterans and their families.
As one Marine Mom said about her son serving in Iraq…
“My son doesn’t get rain days.”
Neither do we.
Honor. Remember. Support.
