The Vision
HONOR THE DEAD —
SERVE THE LIVING
To protect our historic landmark and the memorials under
our stewardship, we launched OPERATION ADVANCE:
Preserving Our Future — a $14 million campaign to
establish a permanent Preservation Fund and restore the
Southeastern Wisconsin Vietnam Veterans Memorial.
As a living memorial open to all, we remain committed to
accessibility and education — but preservation requires
long-term stability. A dedicated Preservation Fund ensures
that care of the building and memorials will never compete
with mission-driven programs.
