War on Terror Foundation: Monument
The memorial and web site are part of the War on Terror Foundation, a nonpolitical organization and educational resource honoring military personnel who gave their lives fighting the war on terror from 1975 to present. The memorial ground is located among the Avenue of 444 Flags in Hermitage, Pennsylvania, commemorating each of the four-hundred and forty-four days of the Iranian Hostage Crisis.
Each monument stands 12 feet tall with five, dark, glass panels on each side, mounted to a steel base. Diamond-etched names are engraved in chronological order three panels high, permitting rubbings and other personal transfer means. The memorial is round, with the monuments surrounding a fountain, further encircled by United States flags.
The memorial is updated weekly.
Waronterror.org is the web site that houses biographies and multimedia of those memorialized within the physical monument. It is provided as a resource for nonpartisan information about the war on terror.
The web site is automatically updated at 5:00 AM EST, daily, using multiple sources for the various components of the site.
The War on Terror Foundation will add information to biographies, including text, photos, audio, and video. Please contact our office at 724-347-5100 for further details.
