Memorial Day was first observed as “Decoration Day” after the Civil War to honor those who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. It has since become a national day of remembrance, recognizing the sacrifices made in the defense of freedom and the common values we share in our country.
For nearly five decades, EverGreene has been preserving war memorials, military monuments, and historic sites—enduring landmarks which serve as powerful reminders of the cost and bravery of ordinary citizens. Each conservation project embodies the commitment to honoring the enduring legacy of American service members. Through this important work, we are helping safeguard the nation’s collective memory, ensuring that the stories of courage, sacrifice, and patriotism continue to be told.
