Legacy Projects: Our team partners with Gold Star families to identify the legacies of our brave fallen heroes that have impacted their communities. Once we have precisely identified their individual legacy, we work with the family to erect permanent memorials that depict and preserve the legacies of our fallen heroes as service members and as unique individuals. Legacy Projects celebrate the lives of the fallen as members of the families and communities in which they so intimately touched. Legacies Alive recognizes that in addition to fighting for our freedom, every fallen hero was also part of their family and community. We work alongside these families to create Legacy Projects, that not only celebrate these heroes’ sacrifice, but also who they were as members of their families and communities. We currently have 4 Legacy Projects. Legacy Events: We host events that allow our team to meet with Gold Star Families, learn about the legacies of their fallen heroes and most importantly connect them with other Gold Star Families. We feel the healing truly begins to occur when the families have the ability to fellowship with each other.
