Primary Sentinel of Memory Application

Becoming a Primary Sentinel of Memory is an obligation of remembrance. Primary Sentinels commit to visit and present flowers at the grave of the serviceman to whom they are assigned, typically at least once a year. Primary Sentinels also help all of us learn more about who the soldier was as a person. When possible, Primary Sentinels reach out to family members and other Sentinels of Memory of that serviceman in a mutual effort to discover more information and contribute that information to the serviceman’s tribute page. Your commitment to serve as a Primary Sentinel is for a renewable period of three years.

If your application is approved, the AOMDA Foundation will assign you to become the Primary Sentinel of Memory for a serviceman that does not yet have one. Please provide us with any additional information about you that would assist us in making this assignment. For example, are you interested in being assigned to a serviceman from a particular state or from a particular military unit?
If that serviceman already has a Primary Sentinel, would you like to help perpetuate the memory of another soldier? Or would you prefer to be put on a waiting list to become the Primary Sentinel of your specific serviceman at a later date?
If all of the serviceman in the cemetery you selected already have a Primary Sentinel, would you like to be placed on a waiting list to be notified when one becomes available?
