Recognition of Donations

 

The Warrant Officers Heritage Foundation began in January 2008 to recognize the Members and Chapters who answer the challenges issued at USAWOA Annual Meetings over the last few years.

 

All donations at this time go to fund a "Memorial to our Fallen Army Warrant Officer Comrades." The goal is to place the memorial at the planned National Museum of the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia.

 

Individuals who donate $100 or more over a 12-month period will receive a specially produced 2" round coin with original brass Eagle Rising in the center. The current Warrant Officer rank insignia appears on the body of the Eagle. The circle on the front of the coin is inscribed "Warrant Officers Heritage Foundation" and the reverse is inscribed "Preserving Our Warrant Officer History." (See our logo at the top of this page). USAWOA Chapters who donate $250 or more over a 12-month period will receive a brown flag streamer with the inscription "WO Heritage Supporter" embroidered in gold.

 

Eligibility for recognition under the above program is retroactive to the establishment of the Foundation. All donations, without regard to size, will be acknowledged in writing for tax deduction purposes.
