Pledge Campaign

This community was built from the ground up—name by name, connection by connection. It began in the jungles of Vietnam and carried through the streets of Mogadishu, the sands of Iraq, and the mountains of Afghanistan. It’s touched our families, our friends, and every Marine and Corpsman who’s served in The Walking Dead. Generations sacrificed to build this legacy. It’s your leadership and courage that brought us this far—and it’s that same strength we call on now to carry us forward.

Your monthly pledge helps keep this legacy alive—not in memory, but in action. It fuels real programs: humanitarian aid for those in crisis, scholarships for our next generation, and a network that never lets anyone walk alone. This is how we honor sacrifice—by showing up for one another, again and again.
