Their Valor carried this nation to 250

Now etch their name into that story forever

For 250 years, the American Story has been written by men and women from every background, every branch, and every era — bound together not by where they came from, but by a shared commitment to defend something larger than themselves. At Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial, we protect that story. We make it permanent. We make it personal. And as our nation marks this once-in-a-generation milestone, a plaque on our walls — now with the exclusive 250th Gold Medallion — is how your veteran's chapter becomes part of the permanent record.

Add the 250th gold medallion to your plaque

A permanent gold engraving in the granite — exclusively available through July 4, 2027

A plaque on our walls already tells your veteran's story. The 250th Gold Medallion does something more — it permanently stamps that story with the mark of this singular moment in American history. Of all the millions of Americans who have served since 1776, only a select group will bear this specific distinction on their eternal memorial. It is not just an engraving. It is a declaration that your veteran's service is woven intentionally into the 250-year arc of courage, devotion, and sacrifice that delivered this nation to where it stands today.
