Tribute Park
Our mission is our promise: to honor our nation's veterans and active-duty military by providing help and hope for their children and families. You can help make sure that promise never goes unfulfilled today and in the years to come.
When you place an item in the park, you provide a timeless expression of your dedication to the mission of the VFW

National Home for Children --and you help create a peaceful and beautiful park that residents and visitors alike can enjoy. You also ensure we are able to serve future generations of military and veteran families, as your net donation will be placed in our Amy Ross Endowment Fund, a permanently restricted endowment fund created to generate annual income for the National Home.
Please communicate directly with the National Home’s Donor Relations Department at 866.483.9642 or before sending a donation to dedicate a tribute in the Tribute Park.

your tribute message will appear on a bronze plaque at its base. Several tree varieties are available with a minimum donation of $4,000.
