UNITE A CITY.
A New Vision for RVA.
Monumental Honor seeks to memorialize the legacy of Richmond's Medal of Honor Recipients.
By erecting a monument in downtown Richmond, we can unite and inspire our city by marking the selfless acts of local heroes from various ethnicities, ranks, services, and wars who share a legacy of gallantry and intrepidity that all can be proud of.
The names and narratives of these local heroes will be etched into the heart of RVA, sharing values of selflessness, valor, & unity for generations to come.
HONOR A LEGACY.
