Every Service Member and Veteran has a story that deserves to be recognized.
Whether they are currently serving our country or were honorably discharged from service, living or have passed on — give them a place on our Wall of Honor.
Making a Wall of Honor donation to Friends Of The Troops enables us to continue providing deployed service members with care packages and supporting military families in need throughout the year.
It is also a special way to honor or memorialize the military service of your loved one.
If making a donation for the Wall of Honor, please make a note who the donation is in honor or memory of when prompted on the donation page.
If you would like to honor or memorialize someone new on the Wall of Honor, please call Jessica at (423) 599-9901 or email jessica@friendsofthetroops.org so we can gather the necessary information.
