Schofield Memorial

The Schofield Memorial project was conceived by the commanding officer of the 25th Infantry Division and his staff while stationed in Afghanistan in 2004. MG Eric T. Olson sent word back to Schofield Barracks that he wanted an appropriate memorial to honor the 25th's Soldiers who were killed in action while serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. His staff indicated they wanted this memorial completed by the time the elements of the Division returned from Afghanistan and Iraq in June 2005.The Memorial Fund is now concentrating its' efforts on raising additional monies to maintain the Monument and construct a second, duplicate Monument, perhaps on the grounds of the National Museum of the US Army at Ft Belvoir. This would give Veterans, their family and friends much easier access to see the Monument.
