Non-Specific Veteran Memorials
Managed By: Icon Here Never Forget
Description:To locate, photograph and document non-specific or multi-war veteran memorials or monuments.
Expanded Description: We are looking for monuments and memorials commemmorating veterans. These monuments and memorials will have either no specific war listed (such as a monument saying "For Those Who Serve" or "For Our Soldiers") or be multi-war in scope.

The multi-war monuments must be of a kind that are not separatable into separate categories: a memorial "walk" with bricks for soldiers from various wars would be acceptable, for example, but a memorial park with a separate monument or engraving for each war would not.

As this category is seeking to honor a broad range of forces, we will not accept memorials dedicated to a single person.

PLEASE NOTE: Memorials designating a single war will not be accepted, regardless of whether or not there is an existing Waymarking category for that particular war.

Instructions for Posting a Non-Specific Veteran Memorials Waymark:
Each submission must have an overall photo of the monument in question. This photo should be an "art shot" with no GPSr in the photo. Please also include photos of any engravings or words on the monument if they're not readable in the overall photo.

UPDATE: If there is text on the marker, it MUST be written out in the text field added for it. This is a REQUIRED field.
A description of the area is now also required, including any historical links between the monument / memorial and the local area.
Please include the following when available:
date of dedication (even if it's just the year)
the organization or group that set up the monument
Wars mentioned on it, if any
Other location information, such as city, state / province / territory and country
Include something about the monument itself - why you knew about it, why it's special to you, history of it, etc. Make people want to come to see this monument!

Let's emphasize that. MAKE PEOPLE WANT TO COME SEE THIS MONUMENT. Make it interesting! Tell us why we want to see it! Just "filling in the blanks" of "who-what-when-where-why" isn't enough. You need to include some descriptions. Tell about the area it's in. Tell about the people. Tell the history of the monument. Be creative!
The Long Description field MUST be filled in. This must be UNIQUE text, and may not be the same as, or a rephrase of, text that is in another section on the waymark page. Use the above requirements as a suggestion for what to include. The people on these memorials volunteered their lives for their fellow countrymen - they deserve more than a "here's a marker, go find it."

Instructions for Visiting a Waymark in this Category: Visited Logs must contain, at least, a picture of the monument and your GPSr. Preferably YOU at the monument with your GPSr, but we understand that some people are camera-shy. Please include something about your visit here, as well.
