Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough discusses new features on the Veterans Legacy Memorial site

New, more interactive features have been added to the Veterans Legacy Memorial (VLM), including the ability for users to upload images and documents, share a military service timeline and achievements, biographical information and more. VLM users can now "Follow a Veteran" to receive email alerts when new content is added to that Veteran's page.

Over this Memorial Day weekend and beyond, we invite you to use the Veterans Legacy Memorial to find your Veteran and share your memories.
