Their Sacrifice Lives On
They left behind families, homes, and futures. More than 400,000 Americans gave their lives in World War II, and this Memorial Day weekend, we gather to remember them.
Please join us on Saturday, May 23, at 10:00 a.m. ET at the National World War II Memorial in Washington, DC, for a solemn observance honoring their sacrifice and the freedom they helped preserve.
As part of this solemn ceremony, World War II veterans will lay wreaths at the Freedom Wall, honoring their fallen brothers and sisters. This powerful tradition reminds us of the immense price of freedom and the duty we carry to ensure their stories continue to inspire future generations.
To attend in-person, please register below.
If you are unable to attend in-person, you may watch the ceremony Live on Friends' Facebook page so you can participate virtually and help us honor all who served.
Register to attend this event IN-PERSON at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.
