THE FOUNDATION |
| The Foundation is a tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)(3) publicly supported
charitable organization formed by a group of concerned and public-spirited
citizens. The purpose of the Foundation is to raise funds to support the
establishment and maintenance of enhancements and amenities that are intended
to provide for the comfort, condolence and ceremony associated with the
interment and memorial of veterans and their families.
Active membership in the Foundation comes from approximately 40 veteran, city and county organizations plus concerned private, civic and fraternal organizations and individuals. Membership is not limited to veterans, and there are no membership dues. Presently, the major foundation endeavor is raising funds for the construction on the cemetery site, a memorial to all veterans buried there. The Foundation was originally established for the purpose of getting a national cemetery in North Central Texas as soon as possible. The Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery was dedicated May 12, 2000, so it can be said that the Foundation was successful in that regard. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs operates the cemetery, but that department is not funded to provide certain amenities considered vital by this Foundation.
