The Memorial Day Foundation is dedicated to never forgetting those Americans who died serving their country in defense of freedom and liberty and their families who loved them and whom they loved.
Our mission is to increase awareness and respect for Memorial Day through a public display of remembrance. We have created several types of public displays of remembrance which can be view by clicking on “Donate”. Please help us accomplish our mission by supporting the Foundation thru donations for one or more of these displays of remembrance or with a financial contribution.

Normandy, Flanders Field and other overseas cemeteries of the American Battle Monument Commission (ABMC) are well known. However, lesser-known burial sites of American war dead exist all over the world--in Australia and across the Pacific Rim, in Canada and Mexico, Libya and Spain, most of Europe and as far north as the Russian Arctic. This is an interactive map of American soldiers buried abroad since the American Revolution. The map was created by Chris Dickon author of “The Foreign burial of American War Dead” available at www.mcfarlandpub.com. This map is to know of them and for us to remember them on Memorial Day no matter where they are buried.
