Across Texas, millions of Veterans are laid to rest in private, local, and municipal cemeteries. While some of these cemeteries are well-established and carefully maintained, many others are rural, abandoned, or neglected. Yet, they all share one vital feature: they are the final resting places of our nation's heroes—spanning from the Revolutionary War to present-day service members.

Unlike the well-documented records found in our National and Texas Veteran cemeteries, the majority of community cemeteries lack detailed information about the Veterans buried there. Since the founding of the Warriors Remembrance Foundation in 2024, we have discovered that over 40% of the Veterans we serve were previously unknown—lost to time, with no official records of their service. As visitors gather to honor Veterans on Memorial Day and Veterans Day, many are unaware that the graves beside, behind, and in front of them also belong to brave individuals who served in some of our nation's most defining conflicts, such as World War I and World War II.

This disturbing trend sparked the creation of the Veterans of Texas Legacy Project under the umbrella of the Warriors Remembrance Foundation. Our mission is clear and ambitious, but achievable: to document every Veteran buried in private, local, and municipal cemeteries across Texas, creating an online archive where family members, friends, and visitors can search, share photos and documents, and ensure the memories of these heroes endure.

In addition to this primary goal, we are working diligently to reach out to the next-of-kin of Veterans whose graves lack government markers or medallions. Our aim is to ensure these graves are properly honored with the official recognition they deserve, so that all who visit will know they are standing in the presence of an American hero.

Lastly, we are committed to creating free public museums or enhancing existing museums through our Warriors Remembrance Lodge efforts in every county, providing a lasting tribute to these courageous men and women. These museums will share the stories of those laid to rest, honoring their service and sacrifices in a meaningful and historic way for generations to come.
