Partners invested more than $165,000 to help us honor and commemorate special people and special occasions during 2020. In collaboration with partners such as the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, The Friends of the National World War II Memorial, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial Fund, and others, we were able to delivere creative virtual programs for Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day and other special days. These virtual and live-streamed events inspired people all over the world from the comfort of their own homes.
