HEALING & SUPPORT

Submit A Eulogy

Sharing memories of our loved ones is the best tribute to them. Each year we invite all those who lost a spouse, a child, a parent, another relative or a friend to use the form below to write a eulogy, a remembrance or a prayer in their honor. We also invite you to share your own story of grief over the loss of a loved one.

Click to your left to read past year's submissions on those fallen in America's conflicts.

Your submissions are deeply moving and we greatly appreciate every email and letter we receive.  For those who request it, we deliver your pieces to the appropriate memorial with honor and respect for you and your loved ones.  (To see those sacred moments, visit our Remembrance Ceremonies section of this website.)

We hand-carry eulogies and remembrances directly to the appropriate memorial site — the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial or Arlington National Cemetery.  There, Reverend Steve Hyde, PhD, and other members of the clergy will offer prayerful words for your loved one.

In addition, we post some of your submissions on this website because we feel it is so important to share our stories.  Please indicate on your submission form whether we have your permission to post and/or deliver your remembrance.

Each year after the National Memorial Day Concert, we carefully read every single one of the submitted messages. They inspire us to continue producing the Concert.  Thank you for sharing such precious eulogies, remembrances and prayers with us and for helping to put the “memory” back into Memorial Day.

REFLECTIONS

“Thank you, James, for your ultimate sacrifice you made for your country. It was your dedication as a soldier and man that helped me through that terrible year in Nam. Soldiers like you are what make our freedoms so special. I thank God for people like you and will make sure your sacrifices will never be forgotten.”
