Supporting veteran communities in Maine
Maine is home to more than 100,000 veterans and a strong network of state and community organizations dedicated to veteran support and education. We align our work with respected groups such as:
- Maine Veterans’ Services (MVMS) : A statewide program providing benefits counseling, memorial programs, outreach and support for veterans and families across Maine.
- Maine Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW Maine) : A network of VFW posts across the state offering community outreach, remembrance programs and support for veterans and their families.
These organizations reinforce Maine’s commitment to honoring military service. Our granite memorials help further this mission by preserving the stories and legacy of Maine veterans for generations to come.
