WHO WE ARE

Veteran Memories Society is a nonprofit dedicated to digitally mapping the Veterans of local cemeteries. We also aim to educate and encourage those in other communities in how to create a digital map, connect with their local historical societies, American Legion Posts, schools, and Veterans. By creating digital maps of cemeteries, people can preserve, honor, record, and learn about the the service that so many Veterans in their communities have contributed to our country.
