Friends groups and memorial partners are closely tied with specific National Mall and Memorial Park sites. They participate in a wide variety of projects related to the diverse missions of their organizations. For some, their work centers on honoring veterans and our nation’s heroes through ceremonies and commemorations. Other groups bring historic sites to life by filling the spaces with entertaining performances for guests. Education and interpretation is a major component of partnerships at National Mall and Memorial Parks. Partners work to share histories and connect visitors to the many stories commemorated by park monuments, memorials, and historic structures. By providing care and preservation for the natural and cultural resources tied to these sites, Friends groups and memorial partners help ensure these stories will not be lost for future generations. |
