You've made plans for when your gone: You've bought life insurance, created trusts and a will, and wrote down detailed instructions for your family.
But often times, your family has to come up with a fitting memorial to your life. However, when they have questions, you're not there to answer them.
But what if you could?
The Veterans Legacy Memorial is one way to make sure that future generations know about you: What you saw, did, and experienced in your life, in your own words.
According to the VA, "The memorials that accompany a Veteran's life are also an important legacy, so that family members, friends, and others can understand and appreciate the unique Veteran experience."
The VA created a website where millions of your fellow veterans have "...posted
- images
- autobiographies
- military and life timelines
- historical documents...
...so that when you pass away, your contributions will be automatically added to your publicly visible VLM page, as content authored by you."
Don't wait to tell your story to your grandchildren.
