The
National Ranger Memorial Foundation, Inc. serves U.S. Army Rangers of all eras
through recognition in a granite monument, display of Hall of Fame members,
scholarships to deserving individuals, and assisting Ranger families.
The foundation unites all Ranger associations
and was founded in 1992 to create, design, build, maintain, and promote the
Ranger Monument located on Fort Benning, Georgia. This unique granite monument
serves as the focal point for associations and active duty units to conduct
major events such as graduations, unit changes of command and responsibility,
promotions, and other significant ceremonies.
Ranger qualified persons can have their name and unit inscribed in the monument
walkway to document and preserve their association to the Ranger spirit and
brotherhood. Names of the Ranger Hall of Fame inductees are engraved in the wall
at the monument so visitors can reflect on the impact selected individuals have
had in preserving our Nation’s freedom and the freedom of others around the
globe.
The foundation also provides educational
scholarships to Rangers of all eras and their eligible dependants. Additionally,
the foundation supports Ranger families through the Family Readiness Groups of
both the 75 th Ranger Regiment and the Ranger Training Brigade.
The National
Ranger Memorial Foundation, Inc. and the Ranger Monument serves a unique niche
to a unique group of American service personnel past, present and future.
