The Mighty Pen Project is a signature program of the Virginia War Memorial Foundation. Its goal is to preserve the stories of veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice, to honor all veterans and active-duty military, and to inspire love of country through education.
Mighty Pen students craft works that are creative, moving, and serve as vital documents of service and history. Through this program, they develop narratives and memorialize military stories so they may stay in the forefront of the dialogue and culture of our nation.
