When you place an item in the park, you provide a timeless expression of your dedication to the mission of the VFW National Home — and you help create a peaceful and beautiful park that residents and visitors alike can enjoy. You also ensure we can help future generations of military and veteran families because we will place the net donation in our Amy Ross Permanently Restricted Endowment Fund. The National Home can use this fund’s earnings, but not the principal, for general operating purposes.
