The Mission of Monumental Honor is to

Honor Our Legacies: Richmond is home to 9 Medal of Honor Recipients, a unique legacy that rivals any other city in the entire nation. With 75% of Americans unaware of the Medal of Honor's significance, we are on a mission to share their stories with a broader audience.

Unite Our Communities: Medal of Honor Recipients embody the rich diversity of our nation, representing various races, services, and eras. These heroes come from all walks of life, united by values like courage, sacrifice, and integrity, helping us bridge and inspire communities.

Develop Our Future: We ensure the legacy lives on by engaging the next generation with these powerful stories through STEM internships and academic scholarships for students who embody Medal of Honor values.
