Supporting veteran communities in North Carolina

North Carolina is home to more than 700,000 veterans and several major military installations, including Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), Camp Lejeune, Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point and Seymour Johnson Air Force Base. 

We align our work with respected organizations such as:

• North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (NCDMVA) :  Provides statewide support for veterans, military families, benefits assistance and veteran-focused programs.
  
• North Carolina Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW North Carolina) :  A large statewide network of VFW posts dedicated to service, remembrance, education and veteran advocacy.
  

These organizations demonstrate North Carolina’s deep commitment to honoring military service. Our memorials reinforce that mission by providing a permanent, respectful tribute crafted in premium granite.
