The Fredericksburg Area Veterans Council would like to welcome you to our site dedicated to the preservation of the memory of those men and women from the Fredericksburg area who served and sacrificed for the freedom we all enjoy today.

On November 8, 2008 the new Memorial to Our Fallen Heroes was presented to the City of Fredericksburg and the surrounding communities.

The project took the area veterans almost 10 years to the day to save the existing WWI memorial, design a new memorial and gather the resources to make it a reality.

As of this Veterans Day, 2008 the area Roll of Honor consists of 403 men and women from the Fredericksburg area who gave their lives for our freedom. Visitors will find their names inscribed on the memorial walls.

To Our Fallen Heroes

On these pages the Veterans of the Fredericksburg area present the result of our ten-year struggle to honor the memory of the 403 of our fathers, bothers, neighbors and fellow citizens who sacrificed their lives for the freedom we all enjoy today.

Let us ensure that their deaths were not in vein, that we are worthy of their sacrifice. Let us always honor them and preserve the great gift of freedom they have given us and pass it on for future generations.

The Memorial is Complete

The FAVC consists of representatives from the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Military order of the Purple Heart, the American Legion, the Korean War Veterans Association, the Vietnam Veterans Association, AMVETS, DAV, National Association for Uniformed Services, Military Officers Association of America and interested members of the community. Our objective was to build a memorial to our fallen patriots to permanently honor their memory.
