The traveling memorial is a replica of the actual memorial in the US capitol and consists of the Wall of Stars (aka Wall of Freedom), the Atlantic & Pacific Pavilions, 56 pillars and stands with oak and wheat wreaths. There are 4,048 gold stars; each one representing 100 American military deaths.

Join hundreds of volunteers, including MAVRC, as we create a field of 2,972 flags at the War Memorial Center Monument representing the brave Milwaukee service members who gave their lives during WWII.

We cannot gather but we can still give gifts! Drive up and receive your red, white and blue commencement cord along with a MAVRC gift bag! Take photos on the Lake Front or in the War Memorial Gallery and celebrate your graduation from UWM.
