About The National Fallen Heroes Memorial:

Honoring our fallen men and women between Post Vietnam and Current Day Conflicts and Wars for their selfless service in our US Military and paying the Ultimate Sacrifice with their lives.

Our young men and women joined the United States Military to serve their country and to honor the American Flag and all that it represents. These brave soldiers not only gave the lives that they were living, but gave up the lives they would have lived.

To those who have fought for our country, freedom has a flavor that the protected will never know. They gave up everything for our country, for our freedom, for us. And all we can do is remember.

The National Fallen Heroes Memorial will be built on more than 600,000 sq. ft (15 acres) in Frederick, Maryland.

Your donations will not alleviate the pain of the loss of our Fallen Heroes, but will memorialize the sacrifice of their lives for your freedom in the United States of America.

Please make your donations payable to:

Nancy Bodmer of Bodmer's Pottery explains the process of making a Commemorative Gift Plate

Nancy Bodmer - owner of Bodmer's Pottery

For over 32 years, Nancy Bodmer has been making commemorative plates as gifts for weddings, births, anniversaries, new homes, family trees and more. Here, she explains the commemorative plate making process.

First , I wedge, weigh and make the plate on my potter's wheel. Then create the design using an ancient technique called sgraffito, where I carve away the slip to allow the red clay to be the wording/outline. Next is decorating the plate with color, a clear glaze and then in the kiln it fires for 8 hours at almost 2000 degrees. Voila, the finished product. As a former dental hygienist I enjoy the detail work but much prefer clay over saliva. For the past 32 years, artistry leads the way in my chosen profession.
