Foundation Goals

The goals of the National Infantry Foundation are to:

	Educate To educate the American public and future generations on the role of the Infantry in safeguarding the legacy of heroism left to them by previous generations, explaining what the Infantry is doing for them now, and how the Infantry of the future is being defined.
	Honor To honor Infantrymen, from officers to enlisted men, past present and future, and units of Infantry, active or disbanded, by telling their stories of valor and sacrifice, sharing the memorabilia they have collected and promoting the freedoms they have fought to protect.
	Preserve To preserve the Infantry’s history by collecting artifacts associated with it, restoring, and protecting those artifacts to ensure their long life, and exhibiting and interpreting those artifacts to recreate the Infantry experience for both Infantrymen and civilians.

To accomplish these goals the National Infantry Foundation is committed to design, build, and maintain a National Infantry Museum that will allow all Americans to share in the Infantry experience, past, present, and future. Through this effort the American people will come to identify more closely with the Infantry, see it as their own, enjoy learning about it, and help preserve its legacy.

Far from glorifying war, the National Infantry Museum will teach the lesson that freedom is not free and that its true cost is measured in terms of human lives and sacrifice. It will demonstrate that one of the obligations of those who enjoy liberty is to help guarantee it for others. Our willingness as a nation to meet this obligation is verified daily by United States Army Infantrymen, in harm’s way, around the world.
