Our mission is to commemorate Chicago’s role in U.S. Navy history and the service of many. Join us in creating a long-awaited Chicago Navy Memorial at Navy Pier.
How can we celebrate Chicagoland’s contributions to our sea services and nation’s security? How can we honor the Navy servicemen and women who grew up or trained here? How can we inspire young people to train for leadership and take courageous actions in the defense of our country?
We must band together to support the development of the Chicago Navy Memorial at Navy Pier—a stirring monument to the intersection of civic pride and national service—that will tell the almost forgotten story of our city’s and region’s critical roles in two world wars.
We will commemorate the hidden heritage and nearly-forgotten history of Chicagoland and our region's naval contributions to both World War I and World War II. The Memorial will honor the impact Chicagoans have made, and continue to make, to the nation’s naval services.
Your investment in the memorial will allow us to educate and tell these stories of patriotism, collective sacrifice, and perseverance—stories that will endure in the hearts and minds of millions, and will inspire selfless service for generations to come.
