Mission
To honor America's fallen heroes by planting and growing hundreds of "Patriot Trees" - living
memorials spawned from collected soil where our fallen patriot's now rest. "Patriot Trees" will
be planted in every state across America, and in some of the nation's most historic and inspiring
locations including Arlington National Cemetery and on the lawns of the White House and the
U.S. Capitol. "Patriot Trees" will serve as nationally recognized living memorials honoring those
fallen soldiers whose forfeiture of life continues to keep America free.
The Patriot Soil Project
The Patriot Soil Project collects soil from the resting places of American soldiers who have
surrendered their life in combat - in defense of our great nation. A friend or family member may
provide a documented account of a person killed in action, or, from any war related injuries,
while serving in the U.S. armed forces during, but not limited to, World War I, World War II, the
wars in Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, and the conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and any other
conflicts within this time frame.
