Dunham House is set to create a new national memorial to honor America’s fallen service members, a project spearheaded by retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel John Folsom. Located in Omaha, Nebraska, this memorial will pay tribute to over 6,500 U.S. service members who lost their lives in operations connected to the post-9/11 wars.

A Memorial Etched in Strength

The memorial will be crafted from Sunset Granite, with each name engraved into the stone. “Granite’s resilience is symbolic of the strength and determination of our service members,” says Folsom. The memorial will remind us, “The Nation which forgets its Defenders will itself be forgotten.”
