2013 — 2017

The JCU Memorial.

In 2013 we started construction of the Joint Communications Unit Memorial. Thanks to a myriad of individual and corporate donations, we completed this remarkable project. What we are most proud of is that it was built not only by a construction company, but by many of the current members of the unit — a great feeling of pride and ownership. The memorial was dedicated and gifted to the JCU on April 7, 2017.

Never forgotten

Fund the work

Help us keep every program running.

Scholarships, the essay contest, care packages, and the memorial all depend on our members, donors, and sponsors.
