Our Timeline
Millions of animals have served and even made the ultimate sacrifice along with their handlers throughout U.S. history in support of our safety, security and independence.
Come join us in this exciting journey to make history!
On December 29, 2022, President Biden signed into law our bipartisan bill (H.R. 6353/S. 3447) that was rolled in to the omnibus bill authorizing our 501(c)3 nonprofit, National Service Animals Monument Corporation (DBA National Service Animals Memorial), to build and fund the first Memorial on federal land in the nation’s Capital honoring service animals and their handlers.
We are currently in the Site Selection and Fundraising phase. Here is our TIMELINE:
1. The Vision
Our founder realized that our service animals and their handlers had not been recognized in our nation’s Capital for their service, sacrifice and life-saving work, and took action to form The National Service Animals Monument Corporation.
2. Congressional Support
The National Service Animals Monument Corporation (NSAM-pronounced ENSAM) received strong bipartisan support, and bill (H.R. 6353/S. 3447) was rolled in to the omnibus bill authorizing our 501(c)3 nonprofit, National Service Animals Monument Corporation, to build and fund the first Memorial on federal land in the nation’s Capital honoring service animals and their handlers. It was signed in to law by President Biden on December 29, 2022.
3. Raise the Funds
As is the case with most federal memorials, the National Service Animals Memorial must be funded completely through private donations. The cost for building the memorial, currently estimated at $20,000,000, must be raised prior to construction.
4. Site Selection
NSAM is currently working with a premier site selection consultant in DC in cooperation with the National Parks Service to determine the best possible location in Washington D.C.
5. Memorial Design
After our site is determined, our renowned artist, already selected by NSAM, will submit her designs to the Fine Arts Commission for approval.
6. Building the Memorial
Once all the funds are in place and the design is finalized, construction of the Memorial will begin.
7. Memorial Unveiling
The unveiling of the Memorial will mark the beginning of bringing this national treasure for generations to enjoy every day of the year.
