The Warriors Remembrance Foundation was founded by 10-year-old Nicholas Aidan Pinkerton after he discovered a Civil War Veteran's unmarked grave while his father was researching their family’s military history. The grave, marked only by a number at Cave Hill Cemetery, led Nicholas to ask, “Why can’t we fix this now?” His father explained that there were too many unmarked Veterans' graves to address.

Unsatisfied with this answer, Nicholas reflected on America's wealth and global influence and asked, “If we can do so much for the world, why can’t we make sure our brave Veterans’ graves have their names on them?” This simple question ignited a mission that began in the rural community of Spring Branch and is spreading across Texas. Alongside his father, Nicholas began marking unmarked Veterans' graves and restoring neglected graves throughout Comal County. Their work led to the establishment of the first Remembrance Lodge, staffed by patriotic volunteers dedicated to honoring Veterans and their families and uniting communities in a shared patriotic purpose.

What started as a small family project grew into the Warriors Remembrance Foundation, with a mission to ensure every veteran receives the honor they deserve. The Foundation places 12"x18" flags in 6" service-branch-specific bronze flag holders, which are flown year-round. They also restore, clean, and install government-issued grave markers and educate families and communities on veterans' death and burial benefits. Additionally, the Foundation helps cover funeral costs for struggling families and places remembrance poppies and wreaths on Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and the anniversaries of Veterans' deaths.

In the summer of 2024, the Foundation launched the Veterans of Texas Legacy Project, a statewide initiative to document every veteran buried in Texas. Nicholas also started Warrior Wednesday, a weekly movement encouraging people to wear military green in honor of our deceased Veterans every Wednesday. He introduced the Adopt-A-Plot program, which encourages community members to visit the graves of veterans buried in rural, often forgotten cemeteries. To honor living veterans, Nicholas began the Coin-A-Veteran project, which has distributed over 1,000 challenge coins to local Veterans. We visit many facilities, homes, and businesses to recognize and honor Veterans' for their service and sacrifices.

The Warriors Remembrance Foundation is dedicated to ensuring no veteran is ever forgotten. Thanks to Nicholas’s vision, the Foundation continues its work to honor veterans and keep their memory alive every day.
