The American Indian & Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee

In Conjunction and With the Assistance of The Riverside National Cemetery Support Committee

Welcomed THE GIFT to its Home at Riverside National Cemetery!

Our mission

The American Indian & Alaska Native Veterans Memorial Committee is dedicated to remembering those who have served with a fitting monument at the Riverside National Cemetery. There are currently no monuments at any national cemetery recognizing the many Native veterans who sacrificed for our country.

Our goals

We will build, with your help, the first-ever memorial at a National Cemetery dedicated to the sacrifice of all Native American Indian and Alaska Native military veterans. The monument will serve as a perpetual reminder to future generations of the great courage demonstrated by our United States AIAN veterans.
