Commemorative Plaques

Honor an organization with a plaque on the Memorial Wall at the entrance of Semper Fidelis Memorial Park.

With over a mile of winding paths, there are opportunities for organizations with an affinity to the Marine Corps to sponsor a memorial plaque that can be viewed by approximately 500,000 visitors to the National Museum of the Marine Corps and the Semper Fidelis Memorial Park each year.

Sponsors take full responsibility for the cost of the plaque and its installation, to include a site fee and a one-time fee to be placed in escrow for the long term maintenance of the plaque. The precise location of the plaques is on the beautiful stacked stone memorial wall, just a few steps down from the General John A. Lejeune Rally Point
