Engineer Memorial Wall
Recognizing our Fallen and Wounded, and Supporting Family Members
One of the highest priorities of the Army Engineer Association is to recognize all Army Engineers who have given their lives in the defense of the United States of America. Equally important is to recognize those Engineers who received wounds in combat resulting in the award of the Purple Heart.
Memorial Wall for Fallen Engineers
The Army Engineer Association (AEA) is accepting donations to support the design and construction of the Memorial Wall for Fallen Engineers to be located in the “Sapper Grove” at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri—home of the Army Engineer Regiment. Details are provided in this PDF download.
