About Us

Plaques for Warriors is a tribute-driven initiative dedicated to recognizing the service and sacrifice of U.S. military veterans from all branches, eras, and walks of life.

Our mission is simple but powerful: to honor veterans while they are still here to witness it, and to ensure that their names, stories, and legacies are preserved for generations to come.

We believe that no veteran should have to wait until it’s too late to be recognized. That’s why we work to place permanent plaques at the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, one of the few memorials in the country that honors both living and deceased service members.

“I didn’t ask for public recognition. But the day my plaque was unveiled—standing there with my parents, my wife, my children, grandchildren, and those I served with—something changed in me. I felt humble. I felt proud. I felt a deep sense of peace. Every veteran deserves that moment.”
